mr. monk and the end
a few days later, monk, having recovered since being given the antidote, meets with dr. bell to discuss rickover's final words, and how he feels unhappy that his quest to find trudy's murderer had been such a part of his life in the past several years, that now he knows the truth he has begun wondering what he will now do with himself. while packing up trudy's things into boxes when he returns home, monk finds an old newspaper article concerning stroud's disappearance, and discovers that trudy's child did not die after birth; stroud had secretly taken the child away at rickover's request, and put her up for adoption, as the baby's date of birth matches the date that trudy gave birth on. anxious to meet her, he is pleasantly surprised when stottlemeyer tracks her down. attending the meeting, monk finally meets with trudy's daughter, molly evans (alona tal), whom he discovers to bear a striking resemblance to trudy and that she, much like her mother, is a writer, working as a film critic for a local paper in monterey county. the pair find themselves happy to meet each other and begin to spend time together. while showing off his many pictures of her to the others, stottlemeyer finds disher trying to hide away a letter and grabs it, finding that his lieutenant has been offered a position as chief of police in summit, new jersey, and that his secrecy over his vacation to the east coast had been due to him having been dating monk's former nurse and assistant sharona fleming.

biederbeck also makes a brief appearance in the 2008 novel "mr. monk goes to germany" by lee goldberg. monk telephones biederbeck from germany when he suspects that one of dr. kroger's colleagues, a psychiatrist with a six-fingered hand named dr. martin rahner, is the man who killed trudy. since the doctor was giving a lecture at berkeley around the same time that trudy was killed, thanks to a grant from one of biederbeck's foundations, monk suspects rahner of being the killer. biederbeck smugly refuses to confirm or deny monk's suspicions, but later monk proves that the doctor is not trudy's killer.
