Mr. Monk Goes to Germany (19 page)

“I didn’t intend to,” Dr. Rahner said. “It was all a terrible accident. I’m not a murderer.”

“So I suppose you accidentally locked us in a shack, accidentally doused it with gasoline, and accidentally set it on fire,” I said.

“Things just kept getting worse,” Dr. Rahner said, fixing his gaze on Monk. “If you hadn’t followed your psychiatrist to Germany, nobody would have ever known how badly things went wrong.”

“I doubt it,” Geshir said. “You’re underestimating the investigatory skill of our homicide unit.”

“No, he isn’t,” Stoffmacher said.

“We’re sharp,” Geshir said.

“We’re adequate to the task, most of the time. But if it wasn’t for Mr. Monk’s eye for detail and his relentless determination, we never would have seen these events as anything but a suicide, a natural death, and a tragic coincidence. Now we know the truth. It was murder.” Stoffmacher tipped his head towards Dr. Rahner. “Arrest this man, Kommissar, and call the forensic unit up to go over his room. I’m sure we’ll find more feathers and other trace evidence.”

Geshir took out a pair of handcuffs, pulled Dr. Rahner’s arms behind his back, and cuffed his wrists.

Monk stepped up and looked Dr. Rahner in the eye. “Did you kill my wife?”

“I told you, I’m not a killer,” Dr. Rahner said. “At least I wasn’t until three days ago.”

Geshir led Dr. Rahner away. I put my arm around Monk.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Monk,” I said.

“Don’t be,” he said. “I’ll get him.”

Dr. Kroger came up to us. “That was impressive work, Adrian. You might want to consider sticking with this medication.”

Monk shook his head. “The case was solved before tonight. This was the easy part.”

“It didn’t seem easy to me,” Dr. Kroger said.

“That’s because you aren’t the world’s best detective,” Monk said.

“I see the drug doesn’t diminish the ego,” I said.

“I’ll have to make a note of that,” Dr. Kroger said.
