Adrian Monk solves mysteries faster than a whole squad of investigators because he sees details they miss and knows when something's out of place. He's actually doing well lately, solving murders as fast as they come, and has been noticeably less compulsive--he doesn't count his morning Wheat Chex until they're in the bowl. Progress is progress. and Monk knows he owes it all to his therapist, Dr. Kroger. So when Dr. Kroger attends a conference in Germany, Monk ends up in trouble. He can't tie his shoes, forgets how to swallow, and loses track of his blinking. Desperate to regain his footing. Monk follows his shrink to Germany. And that's where Monk sees the man across a crowded town square. The man he's never stopped searching for. The man with six fingers. The man responsible for his wife's death. Now, in a foreign land full of... foreigners. Monk must deal with his multitude of phobias and contend with unfriendly German police in order to find the six-fingered man. Monk sees the charming village with its uneven cobblestones, sausage packed in animal intestines, and buildings permeated with the germs of centuries as a hotbed of dangers. With his assistant Natalie's help, he's willing to brave them all, including solving local crimes and cracking his head repeatedly on low ceiling beams, to keep his appointments with his psychiatrist and to finally catch his wife's murderer.
