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?

'What've we got?' a strange voice asked.


'Single female, probable leg injuries, trapped. Can't see her from any angle.' No longer talking to her his voice was professional. 'Been here about nine and half hours.' Her hand was lowered and freed. He had stepped away.


She heard someone else bend close. Heard breathing. She raised her hand and it was taken.


'Her name's Elisabeth,' Constable John Micklemass said.
