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

Milne nodded. 'We received a call from the Albury police at approximately six the next morning to say a suspect was in custody. We were told of the events leading up to his apprehension and that he had been positively identified by his travelling companions, Gregory Waite and Lisa Moody, who had confirmed stopping at the Narrabundah supermarket. I flew to Sydney where the accused had been hospitalised, formally arrested him and made arrangements for his extradition to the Australian Capital Territory when the doctors felt him able to be moved. Three weeks later I returned to Sydney to escort him back to the ACT. He was admitted to the Canberra Hospital and was there for another five weeks after which he was transferred to the Belconnen Remand Centre.'


'Detective sergeant, would you tell the court the events leading up to the accused's apprehension.'
