An all-new original mystery starring Adrian Monk, the brilliant investigator who always knows when somethingโs out of place....
No one likes to come home to a messโleast 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. Sheโs dead.
If thatโs not bad enough, investigators find marked money from a Federal sting operation stuffed under Natalieโs mattress. Now her life is a real mess and she needs Monkโs 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 outsideโand that man is Monk, who is torn, because heโs 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 pastโฆand that they are pursuing a ruthless, cold-blooded killer that nobody would ever want to mess withโฆ
