Thomas Richard Spradlin's Quest: Finding Freddie is a nonfiction book about the story of a man named Freddie, whom the author handled a case about while working for a prominent legal firm. The adventure took place in 1979 in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The CEO and president of Nachman International Trading Corporation (NITC) was Frederick David Nachman, also known as Freddie, and he was a citizen of Sweden who resided in the United States. Apparently, he went missing when traveling to Lagos, Nigeria, for a business meeting. The wife, Ruth, had to report the situation and seek assistance, so she consulted a legal firm, which sent their partner, Richard, to handle it, and this was how Richard came into the picture. Was Richard able to find Freddie despite the mystery behind his disappearance? Get a copy of the book to find out.

The book has a lot of positive aspects. I acknowledge the author for his writing style and narrative approach. I enjoyed the story because of the way the author told it perfectly, and he provided key information as to date, which made the book more interesting and kept readers glued to the book. I like the fact that the author presented a thorough and compelling account of the political and emotional difficulties that were encountered during their quest. One of my favorite scenes in the book that also captured my attention was the scene where Richard accepted the National Security Organization's (NSO) invitation to Kuramo Beach.

There was nothing about the book that I disliked because the book was well written, and it gave me an enjoyable moment. I must admit that I enjoyed reading the book. I'll give the book a rating of five out of five stars because I found everything in it to be really impressive. Because it includes extensive explanations of Nigerian politics and history, the book is educational. I found some errors in the book, which shows that it was professionally edited. I recommend the book to those who enjoy politics, adventure, and historical nonfiction because it would best pique their interest.
