Jack Shian And the Mapa Mundi (2011)
“He blinked and stared hard. There was no doubt about it: it was the Dunter from the woods at Keldy. The old man watched Jack with wry amusement as the youngster froze on the spot. Then he held up his right forefinger so that Jack focussed on it, and with a slow and deliberate movement, drew the finger across his throat.

“There’s a Dunter in the square!”
Aunt Katie stopped and wiped a floury hand across her face.
“A Dunter? Here?” Her voice wavered.
“He was at the foot of the square. It was the one we saw in Keldy, I’m sure.”MoreLess
