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

What could downgrade the value of that testimony? Elisabeth's heart thudded.


'Doctor Liu, is your opinion any better than that of Dr Westmore, the surgeon who treated him for three weeks, while your knowledge comes from one session lasting, as you say, several hours?'


How do you profess yourself to be superior to colleagues without denigrating them?


'Sir, within medical circles my opinion is acknowledged as the best. Dr Westmore and I consult from time to time and I believe he holds me in high regard, as I do him. But generally, when several opinions are sought, mine are given most weight.'
