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?

I was trying to get off the bed and Russell was scrambling about and Greg dragged him off and they started to fight. I mean, they were really fighting. Grabbing each other's hair and punching and rolling around the floor. Then Russell grabbed one of the rifles and Greg said for me to help.'


'You eventually succeeded in taking the rifle from him?'
