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

James Jeffers didn't answer. He was having trouble formulating an answer that would satisfy his sense of integrity.


'So you can't swear that Gregory Waite has learnt to control his temper?'


His jaw clenched. And unclenched. 'No.'


That was all she had wanted. 'No further questions, your Honour.'


The Crown drew the last comment. 'In your opinion had Gregory Waite completely reformed when he left your employ?'


It meant little after Elisabeth's revelations. The information was one more brick in the wall of doubt the defence was laboriously endeavouring to erect. Come this time tomorrow she hoped to have added another layer or two. Along the table Thierry Richards fluffed his gown. 'Your Honour, I now call Gregory Waite.'


With Jeffers' evidence as an introduction this next witness could hardly fail to generate interest. On request Waite gave his details.
