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

At the top she saw Serge had been right. There were people and vehicles milling. Police in white overalls and blue uniforms. Fire trucks and rescue vehicles and their yellow and indigo clad occupants. Viv and his partner leaning over, preparing her for transferral to the ambulance. Even a television news crew, the cameraman filming proceedings. She closed her eye against it.


Then a voice she knew demanded quietly beside her. 'I thought you said you were all right.' It was Phillip Milne.


He was eyeing the armaguard. 'I called him. He said he'd contact Dave Crombie. There shouldn't be a problem. You're going to be in hospital for a bit longer than a day.'


'You're going to have to move, Sarge.' Serge was back. 'And tell that cameraman to bugger off. He doesn't need to get so close.'


People were now merging and blurring in and out of focus. Snatches of things made deep impressions, others went unnoticed. Voices. Around her, behind her. Movement.
