You've never heard of me, and that's okay, because the fact is I'm nobody special. By that I mean I'm not famous. I haven't done anything or accomplished something that you'd recognize me for. I'm just another anonymous shopper pushing her cart down the aisle at Wal-Mart.Of course, I had bigger things planned for myself. When I was nine I dreamed of being one of Charlie's Angels. It wasn't because I wanted to fight crime or run around braless - I was looking forward to the day I'd fill out enough to wear one. Sadly, I'm still waiting. I admired the Angels because they were strong, independent, and had a sassy attitude. Most of all, I liked how those women took care of themselves.In that way, I guess my dream came true, though not quite the way I expected. I've made a profession out of taking care of myself, my twelve-year-old daughter, Julie, and one other person: Adrian Monk.You haven't heard of me, but if you live in San Francisco and you watch the news or read the paper, you've probably heard of Monk, because he is famous. He's a brilliant detective who solves murders that have baffled the police, which amazes me, since he is utterly incapable of handling the simplest aspects of day-to-day life. If that's the price of genius, them I'm glad I'm not one.Usually taking care of Monk is just a day job, but that changed the week termites were found in his apartment building. By Monk, of course. He spotted a pinprick-sized hole in a piece of siding and knew it was fresh. He knew because he keeps track of all the irregularities in the siding.When I asked him why he does that, he looked at me quizzically and said, "Doesn't everybody?"That's Monk for you. Since Monk's building was going to be tented and fumigated, his landlord told him he'd have to stay with friends or go to a hotel for a couple of days. That was a problem, because the only friends Monk has are Capt. Leland Stottlemeyer and Lt. Randy Disher of the San Francisco Police Department and me. But I'm not really his friend so much as I am his employee, and, considering how little he pays me to drive him around and run his errands, I'm barely that.I went to Stottlemeyer first, since he used to be Monk's partner on the force, and asked if he'd take him in. But Stottlemeyer said his wife would leave him if he brought Monk home. Stottlemeyer said he'd leave, too, if Monk showed up. I went to Disher next, but he lives in a one-bedroom apartment, so there wasn't room for another person, though I have a feeling he would have found some room if it were me who needed a place to stay. Or any other woman under the age of thirty with a pulse.So Monk and I started to look for a hotel. That wouldn't be a big deal for most people, but Adrian Monk isn't like most people. Look at how he dresses. He wears his shirts buttoned up to the neck. They have to be 100 percent cotton, off-white, with exactly eight buttons, a size-sixteen neck and a thirty-two sleeve. All even numbers. Make a note of that it's important.His pants are pleated and cuffed, with eight belt loops (most pants have seven, so his have to be specially tailored), a thirty-four waist, and thirty-four length, but after the pantlegs are cuffed, the inseam is thirty-two. His shoes, all twelve identical pairs, are brown and a size ten. More even numbers. It's no accident or coincidence. This stuff really matters to him.He's obviously got an obsessive-compulsive disorder of some kind. I don't know exactly what kind because I'm not a nurse, like his previous assistant, Sharona, who, Taschenbuch / Paperback.
