Award winning historian, Alison Alexander, turns her attention to Hobart's tempestuous beginnings and the part played by two quite different personalities, Edward Lord and Maria Riseley.
Corruption and Skullduggery tells the story of Edward Lord and Maria Riseley, from their unromantic first meeting through to their marriage, their flourishing business ventures and their eventual position as the wealthiest and most important citizens in Van Diemen's Land.
