What is related to Frederick Nachman and his disappearance in Nigeria sounds intriguing, as well as everything Richard Spradlin experienced he was looking for him. It is curious that the Swedish and American embassies in Lagos have been an obstacle for Spradlin.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting historical account of the events that occurred about Mr. Nachman in late 1970s Nigeria and the political unrest in Nigeria at the time. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

After the assassination of Murtala Muhammad, Nigeria was in a state of unrest. At that time, Mr. Nachman disappeared when he went for a walk in Nigeria. He went to Nigeria to secure a deal with his telecommunications company. Nachman’s wife hires Mr. Spradlin to find her husband. Based on real-life events, this book takes an interesting turn in the plot to keep its readers engaged throughout. That was a wonderful review.
