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?

A Legal Affair

Elisabeth was amused by his questions. 'Tour with Allan. She's a fantastic costumier; she makes some of their stuff now.'


'So they've been together for a while?'


'They don't want any. And they couldn't be more married than they already are.'


He was quiet for a while. When next he spoke it was to say, 'I'm a traditionalist. I want the ring on my finger and the ball games in the back yard.'


In the open air office car park they sat while Robert asked, 'Why didn't you talk to him about what you have in mind?'


Robert fiddled with the keys. 'Going all out for a not guilty.'


'If that's what I had in mind I would have discussed it with him.'


She cut him off. 'Forgive me for thinking aloud.'


It had not been speculation. 'What changed your mind?'


Elisabeth reacted sharply. 'Nothing changed it because I hadn't made it up.'
