The Third Verdict is a gen Star Trek: TOS 132-page novella by Beverly Zuk. Zuk is also the sole artist. It was an unusual story at the time of its release because it focused on the character of Scotty, who was often a supporting character in fanworks but rarely the main focus, and it was a murder mystery featuring no romance or slash. It was praised for its character work in developing Scotty and his backstory.
It tied with Transition for the 1983 "Star Trek Best Writer" Fan Q Award.
