Elisabeth Sharman has a secret.
As a senior solicitor with the Australian Capital Territory Legal Aid Office she's defending a 19 year old with amnesia. He can't remember committing the murder for which he's on trial. Or says he can't.
Robert Murphy has a problem: Elisabeth.
He's her instructing solicitor and she's not playing by the legal rules. She's new to the office. No-one knows her modus operandi. But it's more, much more, than an unusual methodology.
She's using her feminine wiles with him - to good effect - and he's afraid her motives aren't pure.
Will the secret, when revealed, explain everything? Or will the result be catastrophic?

In relation to Elisabeth's comment about Dr Walker, Robert now said, 'I didn't expect she would.'


It was a queer thing to say. Elisabeth said, 'I've never thought myself an orphan.'


Robert noticed the slight emphasis. 'Who else were you thinking of?'


'No-one. I'd have thought there'd be an age requirement.'


By nine thirty they were waiting in the same small visitor's room for Russell, Robert calmly sitting, Elisabeth standing, fingers locked together behind.


When the door opened Robert stood and moved forward to greet Russell and direct him to another chair. He looked questioningly to Elisabeth as he did.
