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, meaning 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?
