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

She was an intelligent girl but she looked as though this was the first time this had occurred to her. Her gaze, assessing, on Russell, she said, 'No.'


'Do you think Russell is acting normally now, from what you know of him?'


She continued to look at him. 'I don't know.'


'It could have all been an act. I only knew him for a couple of days. How do I know what he's really like? He could still be acting.' Added an afterthought as Elisabeth opened her mouth to shut her up, 'He went berserk in the motel room.'


Elisabeth remonstrated. 'Might that have been because he thought himself under attack?'


Lisa was slow to answer, her difficulty with the question obvious. 'I suppose.'


Needing to recover that lost ground Elisabeth said, 'Are you sure events were exactly as you described them?' Again the answer was slow. The question had been hardly more than routine but the hesitation made her wonder. 'Miss Moody?'
