The book Quest: Finding Freddie is a movie on a man known as Frederick David Nachman, popularly known as Freddie, and it is produced by Thomas Richard Spradlin. He was a businessman involved in international business and especially the director of Nachman International Trading Corporation, abbreviated as NITC. In this case, Freddie traveled to Lagos, Nigeria, for a business meeting in the capacity of representing the ability of a foreign investor to do business with the Nigerian government only to disappear. His wife, Mrs. Nachman, initially contacted the Clifford & Warnke law firm situated in Washington to request for an individual to be sent to Nigeria to locate Freddie and bring him back to New York. Thomas Richard Spradlin from Clifford Law Firm accepted this task.
 
Richard Spradlin has only come back from Nigeria, where he submitted the RII’s claim for demurrage charges for cement importation to Lagos Port to the Nigerian government. While he was there, there was a coup in Nigeria, which delayed Richard's coming back home. Will Richard be able to complete his given work? This book narrates the full experience of Richard during his moments on the trip and how he was able to handle some of the difficulties in Nigeria.
 
The thing that I liked most was the way that Spradlin inserted humor in what was more or less an intense telling of the story. Still, he said a very serious story and still amazed me at how he made it fun and even somewhat humorous at times. They are easy to imagine due to the explicit descriptions that he provided of people as well as the environment he was in.
 
However, I have observed a few insignificant errors when it comes to the dialogues, which hinder the normal flow in reading. Nevertheless, these editing errors were the only negative aspects I could discern, and, thus, I took one star off the total rating of the book.
 
"I give Quest: Finding Freddie is a TV show that I give 4 out of 5 stars. It is a great book that presents the readers with a mystery told in non-fiction style. I would suggest it for anyone who reads real-life stories, especially history, adventures, and political contents. The author uses personal experience and historical facts harmoniously; thus, readers will get a real story based on nuanced descriptions and gripping narration.
