In August of 1976, Thomas Richard Spradlin had just returned from Nigeria from a business trip using a single-entry visa. Upon his return, his boss, Clifford, asked him to go back to the country because one of their clients at Clifford & Warnke law firm, Frederick David Nachman (Freddie), who was the president and CEO of Nachman International Trading Corporation (NITC), was missing in Nigeria, and his wife, Ruth, had asked for their help in finding him. Clifford couldn't think of anyone else better for the job. However, the political state of Nigeria at that time was unstable, and returning to the country immediately after leaving on a single-entry visa was almost impossible. How will they make his return possible? Will this client of theirs be found?

In his search for his client, Freddie, I saw Richard as a person to look up to. He demonstrated a sense of social responsibility that extended beyond his primary objective, and I loved him for it. Quest: Finding Freddie by Thomas Richard Spradlin reveals a man of principle whose moral compass compels him to address injustices he encountered along his path, even when they fell outside the scope of his immediate mission. An example of this is when he found out that there were child sex workers when he went for a meet-up about getting Freddie back. Even though he was used for an operation, he still remembered to request for the girls' safety afterward.

It is my pleasure to rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because I enjoyed every aspect of it, and I can't place my hand on anything I disliked while reading it. Although I encountered a few errors, they were minor and did not affect my reading flow. I recommend this book to anyone who loves reading historical books.
