'Robbed of Every Blessing is a dark tale set in Ireland and Van Diemen’s Land in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars. The title is taken from a traditional song about transportation to the island.

Maurice O’Dwyer, a young Irishman, considers the lifeless body of an English tithe-collector slain under a rain-filled sky. From that moment it seems his fate is sealed: he and his young simpleton brother, Padraig, are exiled to Australia, An Astráil, to the convict-filled island of Van Diemen’s Land – leaving behind his love, his land, and his liberty. However, in the bush Maurice discovers that there are allies in the most unlikely of places.' (Publication summary)

The book's hero, Jack Martin (born Giacomo Martinuzzi) is an unusual copper. While, like many real life and fictional detectives, he drinks, eats and smokes too much, he has a decided intellectual bent. He reads books about such things as the Renaissance, prompting his wife to opine that most of the other policemen she knows would think this was "a horse at Caulfield or something"' (Abstract supplied by the author).
