Jack Crane, a disillusioned journalist adrift in his own life, receives a cryptic email that pulls him into the heart of one of Africa's most enigmatic landscapes: the Richat Structure, or "Eye of the Desert," in Mauritania.

Jack Crane, a disillusioned journalist adrift in his own life, receives a cryptic email that pulls him into the heart of one of Africa's most enigmatic landscapes: the Richat Structure, or "Eye of the Desert," in Mauritania. What begins as a freelance assignment to document a geological marvel quickly spirals into a haunting odyssey through memory, loss, and the enduring power of names. Guided-or perhaps haunted-by the enigmatic Augustus Sanyang, a man who seems to exist between worlds, Jack embarks on a perilous journey across the Sahara and into the lush, forgotten waterways of The Gambia. His quest: to find Ndangan, a village erased from maps and official records, known only in whispers and the fragmented memories of its scattered people. Accompanied by the sharp-witted freelance reporter Lauren and the enigmatic local guide Jatto, Jack navigates treacherous seas, bureaucratic indifference, and the suffocating silence of places the world has chosen to forget. Along the way, he discovers a pouch of rough, ancient gemstones and a letter addressed to "the man dying in the sand," a message that binds him to Augustus's desperate plea: "If the river forgets our names, then we are truly gone." From the wind-scoured dunes of the desert to the mist-shrouded mangroves of a hidden river, "The Gambian" is a gripping tale of redemption and remembrance. It's a story about the stories we carry, the names we are duty-bound to speak, and the extraordinary lengths one man will go to ensure that a forgotten village, and the people who loved it, are never truly lost.
