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?

He put the keys in the ignition to roll down the window.


'They'll have a few things they'll want to ask. Would you drop us at the hotel? I can meet you later.'


Weariness overtook him. 'Ray Montgomery's a witness.'


She turned to face him. 'Who's going to know how much I'm seeing of them unless someone tells. Are you going to?'


She chewed her lip. 'Because I'm asking.' She watched him wrestling with it and when he said nothing sat back in her seat. 'If you like we could eat at the Park Royal.' He hadn't taken his eyes off her.
