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

Elisabeth woke to find Honey sitting by her side. 'Hello.'


Honey smiled. 'Hello yourself. How are you feeling?'


'Like a truck hit me.' Her face shadowed. 'Russell?'


'Robert said he'd be kept at the remand centre until sentenced.'


'We talked, Friday night. He was here.' She watched for a reaction. Elisabeth closed her eyes. When she opened them again she said, 'Ray and Julia must be devastated.'


Not to mention you, was Honey's unspoken response.


'I should talk to them.' She turned her head away. 'What are we going to do?'


Honey sprang up to sit on the bed and take Elisabeth by the shoulders. 'We're all going to get on with life. Russell too. He won't be in prison for ever. You're not going to be of any use to him if you fall to pieces.'


'Use.' It was scathing. She was shaken for it.
