Geocache Description:

A murderer is on the loose, and Detective Monk is on the case. With the help of his trusty nurse, Sharona, Monk will see the clues others missed. His powers of detection and deduction will sort out this murder in a minute. But first, he has to meet his new neighbor.

“Nick was just telling me about his adventure climbing alone on Mount Kilimanjaro,” Disher said with boyish eagerness. “He got his leg stuck between two boulders and had to cut it off with his pickax to save himself.”

“And you left it there?” Monk said.

“I ate it,” Nick said.

“You ate it?” Monk said, looking at Nick despite himself and then turning away, repulsed. “Your own leg?”

“I had no choice. I was alone in the snow for days. I had no idea how long it would take them to find me. It was a matter of survival,” Nick said. “Life or death.”

“You should have chosen death,” Monk said.

“What Mr. Monk means is that he admires your bravery and sympathizes with your sacrifice,” I said, hustling Monk past them. “You’ll have to stop by sometime for coffee.”

Monk gasped. “What if he wants something to eat?”
