This 16th installment in the  series saw Monk and Hester pitted against their friend Oliver Rathbone who had been tricked into defending a Child pornographer.  Because of Rathbone's talents in the court room, Monk and Hester have to work again to find a way to get Jericho Phillips, the pornographer, convicted of his crimes.

The story seemed a bit thin this time, more a device to show the main characters' development than create the story.
