An all-new original mystery starring Adrian Monk, the brilliant investigator who always knows when somethingβs out of place....
No one likes to come home to a messβleast 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. Sheβs dead.
If thatβs not bad enough, investigators find marked money from a Federal sting operation stuffed under Natalieβs mattress. Now her life is a real mess and she needs Monkβs 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 outsideβand that man is Monk, who is torn, because heβs 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 pastβ¦and that they are pursuing a ruthless, cold-blooded killer that nobody would ever want to mess withβ¦
