* In ''Literature/CareerOfEvil'' from the ''Literature/CormoranStrikeNovels'', it is noted in the narration that this gesture was a favorite of Jeff Whittaker, the final husband of of Cormoran's mother, Leda Strike, and the man whom Cormoran believed kill her, even though the final consensus was that it was suicide. It is described as one with which Strike was very familiar: "a midair, horizontal slash of the hand, directed at the throat of the person who had offended him." During the trial, after Strike has testified against him, he gives what is described as being a micro-gesture, a miniature copy of the one that Strike knows so well.
