Could it be that the answer to both mysteries lies in the casino of a cruise ship on the Indian Ocean? Things will go from bad to worse before you find out. In Dante, Arizona, a centuries-old feud between the families of Mortiss and Worse is coming to a head. Out in the desert beyond town limits, Walter Reckles emerges unscathed from an air crash in a classified zone. His story about hitting a drone is disbelieved, and his reputation discredited. But Richard Worse is on the case and getting closer to the truth that could save Reckles and destroy the Mortiss empire. Meanwhile, in a cave in the Ferendes, Edvard T ssentern has discovered a wall of ancient hieroglyphs and is endeavouring to crack an uncrackable code. Could it be that the answer to both mysteries lies in the casino of a cruise ship on the Indian Ocean? Things will go from bad to worse before you find out.

Reviews for Bad to Worse

"""Edesons writing has a rhythm all its own that is unlike other mystery stories and thrillers, and has to do with the ease and confidence with which he can take the reader from the familiar directly into a little bit of Worseworld. And it is with great glee that we often hear ourselves saying, Surely he made that bit up, didnt he? Didnt he? It all makes for a joyful ride, lots of smiles and frequent checking of dictionaries and other references."" -- Australian Book Review "" intelligently crafted Bad To Worse provides readers with an intellectual workout, and deserves to be savoured."" -- West Australian "" a book for intelligent, urbane readers with a sense of humour."" -- Good Reading Magazine ""The array of scientific discussions and references are beautifully accompanied by a healthy dose of poetry and philosophy. As the characters pursue their various goals, questions of truth and humanity abound there is plenty of humour to light the way, sometimes sarcastic and sometimes dark, but always intelligent."" -- Underground Writers "" uniquely clever prose with a touch of intrigue and adventure."" -- Maureen Eppen"
