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

Constable Grigson found the spot and immediately began to read. 'At 9.33 pm on the night of the 17th of September last year my partner Constable Bradley and I were in the area when we received a call to attend a possible homicide at the Narrabundah supermarket. On arrival we found the body of a male of approximately sixty years of age. A knife was protruding from his chest. At the scene there was also another male and a female. I ascertained that they were the deceased's wife and son and that the perpetrator had already left the scene in a motor vehicle. I called in, secured the scene, and waited for the investigating officer to arrive. Constable Bradley investigated the area outside but found no trace of either the perpetrator or a vehicle. An ambulance arrived about ten minutes after us.'
