Monk knows arrogant local furniture magnate Trevor McDowell threw his young mistress, Gwen Zaleski, off her 21st-story balcony. Trouble is, McDowell was across town running in a citywide marathon at the time of the murder. His alibi is perfect: the runners were tracked by microchips secured to their shoelaces during the race, and the computer shows McDowell ran the full 26 miles.

The Animorphs have decided to take a break for the weekend, but Rachel and Tobias have made some plans of their own. The plan takes an unexpected turn for the worst as Rachel crashes in hawk morph only to awaken lost in the woods with no memory. She gets herself in some pretty risky situations as she is first captured by a suspicious freed controller and then “rescued” by controllers at a Sharing camp-out. But the rest of the Animorphs finally track her down (with the help of Jake’s super-sniffing abilities in dog morph) before she tells too many people about her strange memories of Yeerks and Andalites. It takes a few days for her memory to fully return, but it finally does and she is happy and proud to know that she is one of the gang.
