What to expect

On a return trip from Germany, Monk and Natalie stop over in Paris. They visit the catacombs, a vast, underground cavern in the center of the city lined with millions of human bones. Monk picks up a skull and announces that the person was murdered. Most of the bodies came from a battlefield, but Monk believes the wound that killed this man came from a modern weapon made in the last few years. He thinks someone hid a recent murder victim among the ancient bones. As Monk starts to investigate the crime, he uncovers another murder that involves a society of "dumpster divers," people who live commerce-free off the waste of society. It might just be the last straw in Monk's visit to Paris.

Critics Review

  • “Full of snippets of slapstick humor and Monk’s special
    talents for observation, this will appeal to fans of the USA TV show.”

    Library Journal

  • “Like Jessica Fletcher of Murder, She Wrote, Monk can hardly go a
    day without stumbling over a corpse. En route, he solves the in-flight murder of
    a fellow airline passenger. Once in Paris, Monk visits a sewer museum, where he
    notices a fresh skull amid a pile of centuries-old bones.”
