Verdict

Isla's investigation into the murder of Nell Ford is put on hold when she is brutally attacked in broad daylight. A knock on the head won't stop her from chasing down the truth but her doctors disagree.Stuck in the hospital, she's a sitting duck, and the worst part is Milo isn't with her. Wrongly convicted of killing his wife, the grieving man is nowhere to be found, and she's forced to depend on someone else to find him while she recovers—if her attacker doesn't come back to finish the job.And Milo?He thought he was doing the right thing by putting distance between him and Isla. All it did was leave her exposed, and now he's left grappling with his guilt and questions over who might have wanted to hurt her.Could it have been the same person who killed his wife? Is someone trying to frame him again?Or is there another threat out there he and Isla know nothing about?
