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?

He let her find it and withdraw one, a long-bladed carving knife. Watched her with satisfaction and, as she hauled herself to brace her elbows on the counter, took hold of her wrist, flipped her around with practiced ease until she dropped to her knees, arm twisted behind her. Yanked on it painfully until she dropped the knife, was crying out, beyond being able to form the words to beg him to stop.
