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

There was a spell of several hours between the media getting sick of hearing, 'No comment,' and the afternoon calls made to meet that night's deadlines. Once begun they continued. The electronic media first for the evening news, the print media later for the next morning's papers.


Robert had rung just after eleven to see if they had heard but didn't return until late afternoon. He almost missed Elisabeth as she left to walk home. She was half way down the pavement when he saw her and called her name. Turning, she waited.


She seemed to be taking it in her stride. 'I would've come back but I couldn't get away.'


Well, he'd known she wouldn't be looking for his shoulder to cry on. He felt awkward but said, because his concern for her overrode everything else, 'Can I give you a lift home?'
