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 had no sooner sat down in her office than the phone rang. It was Joseph Gaudry. 'Care to meet for coffee?'


'Quite a bit, or at least Anna has. Mayhem, ten minutes?'


'Opposite David Jones, just down from the merry-go-round. We'll see you outside.'


She stopped at Robert's office. 'Come on. We're meeting Joe and Anna at a place called Mayhem.'


She didn't have to repeat it. He needed only as long as it took to transfer his wallet from coat pocket to pants while Elisabeth let Judy know where they would be.


While they didn't break into an actual sprint they were there in under three minutes, then had to wait for the others to arrive. When they did they immediately got to the essentials.


'Anna,' her employer said. 'Why don't you tell them.'
