Rickshaw to Horror - A Quix Book

World-famous duck-tective Miss Mallard encounters a supposed psychic in Hong Kong in this engaging Aladdin QUIX mystery.

When Miss Mallard visits Hong Kong, she encounters Marshall Gadwall, a retired English military duck, who seems to have the power to predict disasters. His predictions always come true, but as Miss Mallard examines the evidence, she finds someone’s story doesn’t add up.
