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

Another period of confusion before recollection. Then an anxious loosening and gritting of teeth as blood, too long denied, coursed through deprived veins. Arms draped around the steering wheel and head on wrists she waited with gritted teeth for the pain to subside. Cold, shivering, she lay for a long time. And felt no worse. The bleeding must have stopped.


What time would it be? Nine o'clock when she left the shop. Nine thirtyish when she went off the road. Two hours of remembered counting. Add another hour for before and after. Twelve thirty on Thursday morning. She would put money on not being found until light. She could survive until then. But she should have taken Robert into her confidence. She fell asleep.
