AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Known as the Defender of Women, Roger Farrell, youngest King's Counsel at the Australian Bar, throws himself passionately into the defence of a young woman, charged with murdering her own baby. Little does he think that the day will come when he will need all his force, all his powers of oratory, to persuade a jury that his own wife, Yvonne Farrell, should be acquitted for murdering his own father!'
