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

'Did Russell actually take money from the till; did he have any in his hand? Or did your husband close the till before he could touch it?'


Eleni's hands were wet. 'I can't remember.'


'Was his hand actually in the till when your husband closed it?'


Shoulders heaving, with another wail Eleni said, 'I can't remember.'


'I don't know.' She was practically incoherent.


'Mrs Stavros, if you were afraid your husband's killer might return, why didn't you lock the doors while waiting for your son?' The high-pitched keen lifted the hairs on the back of her neck.


Wearily Elisabeth turned away. 'Nothing further, your Honour.'


Thierry also stood. The day was taking its toll. 'The Crown has no questions, your Honour.'
