Monk is back in the twelfth book based on the incredibly popular USA Network series. Three strangers, each a murder victim: a security guard, a struggling student, and a beautiful woman.

Even (or especially) the secondary characters are more interesting and have sharper dialogue."--Chicago Tribune ""The only thing more fun than watching Monk is reading the adventures Lee Goldberg creates for him.
