The police chief nodded. ‘But it’s okay, they’re hiring a shaman to catch it,’ he said. He explained how it worked. The Crocodile Whisperer goes to the shore where the person was eaten, and drives a sacred spear into the ground. That calls together the fraternity of crocodiles. Then the good crocodiles, the ones who haven’t done anything wrong, point out the naughty, woman-eating croc. The shaman catches the murderer, and the other crocs go back to eating fish and minding their own business.
