Adrian Monk is horrified when he learns there is going to be a blue flu in San Francisco. He doesn’t understand what the blue flu is–but it sounds terrible. Captain Stottlemeyer explains that it’s not really a virus: the police force plan to call in “sick” until they get a better contract. The good news is that the labor dispute will give Monk a chance to get back on the force. The bad news is that it means he’ll be a “scab”–and he doesn’t like the sound of that either.
Before he knows it, Monk has his badge back and his own squad to command. Unfortunately, some of the squad members make Monk look like a paragon of mental health. But despite the challenges, they will have to pull together to catch an astrologer’s killer, solve a series of mysterious fatal assaults, and, most importantly, clean up their desks.

Adrian Monk is actually doing well lately. He is solving murders as fast as they come, and he 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 sqare–the man he’s never stopped searching for. The man with six fingers. The man responsible for his wife’s death. Or did Monk just imagine crossing paths with him?
Now, in a foreign land full of, well, foreigners, Monk must deal with his multitude of phobias and contend with an especially unfriendly polizei department in order to find the six-fingered man. He also must confront someone who thinks Monk may have just gone officially insane–his own psychiatrist.

Smooth-talking television psychic Dylan Swift is on the island and claims to have a message from beyond–from Helen Gruber. Monk has his doubts about Swift’s credibility. But finding the killer and proving Swift a fraud–all while coping with geckos and the horror of unsynchronized ceiling fans–may prove a tough coconut to crack.

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.
