[edit] Plot summary

When Adrian Monk's psychiatrist, Dr. Kroger, goes to a conference in Germany, Monk becomes lost without him. Monk follows him to Germany and spots a six-fingered man in a crowded town square. He becomes obsessed with finding the man, as he could be the six-fingered man that murdered Monk's wife, Trudy. Monk has to deal with an uncooperative police department, and Dr. Kroger's assertion that Monk was just imagining his seeing the man.
