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

'Oh for crying out loud. What do you reckon happens when you're plummeting down a cliff in a car? I got bashed around a bit.' She saw anger. 'I'd prefer to stay here than make the effort of going all the way across to the office and then having to come all the way back.'


All the way? It was five minutes if the lights were against you.


'You obviously didn't think it important enough to tell me.'


He held on to his temper. 'Have you given any thought to what it would mean to Russell if you passed out in there? You can deny it all you like but I know there's something going on that you don't want me to know about.' She started guiltily.


'And if it's got anything to do with the case and you didn't tell me - especially after this - I won't forgive you. Russell shouldn't forgive you. And you shouldn't forgive her.' This to Ray and Julia as he straightened up to stand over her.
