SummaryEver since a 1962 unsolved train robbery made it famous,
people have flocked to the town of Trouble in California's
gold country, searching for the booty that train robbers
supposedly dumped off the Golden Rail Express in a botched
heist.
When the museum watchman is murdered, Monk and his
assistant, Natalie, are sent to investigate. Monk quickly
becomes obsessed with the unsolved robbery—and
discovers that Trouble's gold-rush-era assayer was a quirky
fellow named Artemis Monk.
But that might not be the only thing that ties the past to
the present, and if Monk isn't careful, he'll learn how the
town of Trouble can live up to its name.
