Quote from Ambrose Monk in Mr. Monk's 100th Case

Timothy Henn: Adrian was in my fourth grade class. He was a brilliant boy. At first, he was probably the most promising student I ever had.
James Novak: What happened?
Timothy Henn: Well, his father left. Just took off. After that, everything changed.
James Novak: When Adrian was eight, his father Jack, a frustrated linen salesman, told the boys he was heading out to pick up some Chinese food. Adrian would not see or speak to him again for 39 years.
Ambrose Monk: Mom didn't leave her room for two years, and I didn't leave my room. So it was all up to Adrian. He kept it all together. The house, the family. I don't know how he did it. He's my hero.
