The introduction of a popular new technology, called imprinting, that allows people to make ephemeral clay copies-- dittos --of themselves, leads to all kinds of new crimes.

When a legitimate imprinting research scientist is murdered, Morris goes on the case--shunting him ever further into the sinister world of the ditto black market.
