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

Tuesday she was up and at her desk early. Sleep was erratic still, the nightmares nightly visitors. It was as though she had never been away; the work routine, snatched conversations over coffee, unimportant chatter, briefings, client interviews, case discussions, all part of the norm - except the way she now felt about it. Robert rang to say he had overslept and was heading straight for court. Judy passed on that he might be back sometime during the day. He didn't appear.


On Wednesday he rang to say he had picked up what he needed the previous evening and didn't need to come in. He was avoiding her.


Elisabeth went to lunch late, it was almost two before she felt able to duck out, and ran into him on her way through the door into the foyer.
