    About this ebook

    Skinning otters is lucrative work, which is why Noah Crabtree has split off from his usual hunting buddies and set up along the coast of Canada. With close to twenty furs and no one to split costs with, it looks like he'll be filthy, stinking rich when he gets home. Especially if he can catch that white beauty with the brown cross on its back. Dobharchu is the sixth story in the Bestiary Tales.
