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

Robert considered whether it was wise to continue, even to Joe. How could he confess to anyone, let alone another male, what he had come to believe. But he did need to talk. To someone whose sense he valued.


It sounded so petty. What he didn't say was: she couldn't keep me from knowing so seduced me, neutered me.


'Jesus Murph, who does? I've seen you bend them plenty of times.'


Robert shook his head. 'There are things I've let go on for too long to say anything.'


It was one thing to want to talk to someone. It was another entirely to do it.


'If you don't want to say, don't. But if you don't like whatever it is why haven't you stopped her? Have you talked to her?'
