An
all-new original mystery starring Adrian Monk, the brilliant
investigator who always knows when something’s out of
place....
No one likes to come home to a
mess—least of all Monk and Natalie. But when they return
briefly to San Francisco from an extended stay working as
cops in New Jersey, Natalie discovers somebody has been
sleeping in her bed. But this Goldilocks is not asleep.
She’s dead.
If that’s not bad enough, investigators
find marked money from a Federal sting operation stuffed
under Natalie’s mattress. Now her life is a real mess and
she needs Monk’s help to clean it up.
But Monk has
problems of his own. His brother Ambrose is desperate to
find Yuki, his missing lover, but his agoraphobia prevents
him from leaving the house. Ambrose needs a man on the
outside—and that man is Monk, who is torn, because he’s glad
to see her go.
As the two investigations begin, and
the body count rises, it quickly becomes clear to Monk that
Yuki has a dangerous past…and that they are pursuing a
ruthless, cold-blooded killer that nobody would ever want to
mess with…
