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

After the jury and judge had filed out everyone slowly, it appeared to Elisabeth, began to move. Gregory Waite, unsure of what to do was being told by the sheriff's officer that they were finished with him and he could leave.


Russell was standing quietly with his guard, waiting for Elisabeth to turn to him. She did as she stripped down to suit and bare head, saying she, they, would be up to see him again tonight. Russell departing she looked further afield and received a shock on seeing Steven Lister sitting with Joe a couple of rows back in the gallery. They joined them, passing the prosecution accompanied by Phillip Milne who had spent the day sitting in the first row immediately behind Thierry Richards.


'Tony was here again,' Robert informed her as they made ready to leave.


'Keeping them all posted on how it's going, I suppose.'


'How is it going?' Lister asked as they walked out.


'No earth shattering surprises. Been here long?'
