{"product_id":"the-call-of-the-river-andrzs-baganz-9798180972767","title":"The call of the river: Hammerschmidt #5","description":"Julian Triesen, a calculating former paratrooper major, vanishes without a trace in the treacherous granite labyrinth of Namibia's Brandberg massif. A year later, as his widow demands a 4.2 million euro life insurance payout, a mysterious photograph surfaces showing Julian alive and well in Otjiwarongo. Private investigator Max Hammerschmidt is hired by the insurance conglomerate and given just 168 hours to uncover the truth. Traveling to the sweltering heat of southern Africa, Max joins forces with Sarah, the betrayed ex-fiancée of Julian's best friend. Together, they follow a trail of deception, betrayal, and murder deep into the Caprivi Strip swamps, unmasking a masterfully staged disappearance that ultimately forces Max to confront his own hidden African ancestry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e André Baganz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798180972767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"André Baganz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997818401023,"sku":"9798180972767","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-call-of-the-river-andrzs-baganz-9798180972767","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
