Mystery
An all-new story starring Adrian Monk by Edgarยฎ Awardโnominated Monk screenwriter and coexecutive producer Hy Conrad. Itโs compulsive, page-turning fun. Monk and Natalie have finally settled into a new office routine. Now they just need to work things out with their neighborsโa print shop run by hippies whose music leaks through the walls, driving Monk nuts. But the detectives soon have a more serious conflict to deal with: Captain Stottlemeyerโs new lieutenant, A.J. Cartledgeโa man of limited skills whom Monk finds insufferable. Even the presence of Lieutenant Cartledge wonโt keep Monk and Natalie from attending the funeral of Judge Oberlin, and itโs a good thing. In typical fashion, Monk examines the body in the casketโand finds evidence of poison. The judge was murdered. While there are no traces of the poison at the judgeโs house, Monk detects that there had been an intruder. The next rainy day, when Captain Stottlemeyer begins to show the same symptoms, Monk deduces that thereโs a diabolical killer at work, someone who wanted both the judge and the captain dead. Monk and Natalie turn to the captainโs ex-lieutenant in Summit, New Jersey for help, but even that might not be enough to solve this crime. With his friend in danger and an enemy close, Monk will have to put his reservations aside to crack the case in time.
