The Shameless Sodomite (A Nick Williams Mystery Book 21) Kindle Edition

by Frank W. Butterfield (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 122 ratings

Tuesday, June 28, 1960

Nick and Carter are about to witness history! It's an exciting time in Léopoldville, capital of the Belgian Congo and their temporary home on the south side of the Congo River.

After living in Africa for nearly two years, they will be on the ground when the colony becomes an independent nation able to govern itself following a tragic history.

They've been busy, of course. Nick owns a hotel and a clinic while Carter has opened two gyms on both sides of the river—one in Léopoldville and one in Brazzaville in the French colony on the far shore.

As they begin to wrap up their lives in Africa and prepare for their next big move, something terrifying and disturbing happens that suddenly accelerates their plan. Before they have time to do much more than pack a few clothes, they're unceremoniously sent down to the docks to wait for the ferry that will take them across the river and back into the safety of the French Congo.

Where they go next leads them smack into the biggest challenge the two men have had to face in the 13 years since they first met across a crowded room.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Frank W. Butterfield, not an assumed name, loves old movies, wise-cracking smart guys with hearts of gold, and writing for fun.

Although he worships San Francisco, he lives at the beach on another coast.

Born on a windy day in November of 1966, he was elected President of his high school Spanish Club in the spring of 1983.

After moving across these United States like a rapid-fire pinball, he currently makes his home in a hurricane-proof motel with superior water pressure that was built in 1947.

While he hasn't met any dolphins personally, that invitation is always open.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2018

    With a title like this you know this journey is going to be rough! And it is and it's isn't. The men have been jumping from fire pan to fire pan and now they are home- and the fire is waiting! For 5 years this has been what they knew was coming and patiently waited as long as they could until the political environment supported the chance that can could come home! They have escaped the horrors of African revolt- because they get exiled moments before-and wind their way home, taking care of unfinished business along the way. The manner Mr Butterfield unfolds the homecoming is tense and focused-like that background music in a mystery move that foretells bad things are going to happen. Favorite characters are back, Mike and Cater have to deal with their issues, Nick is reeling from the cumulative effect of everything and you see he's going to have a lot to deal with-but the action doesn't stop! What a fantastic read!

    Our Shameless Sodomites are thrown out of Belgian Congo and wend their way back home. They're arrested in a midnight raid on their home and prosecuted in a trumped up trial. Things end well but they could be better.

    This book had me crying tears of joy right to the last sentence. As Nick and Carter finally find their way back home to the city by the bay it was an emotional reunion with family and friends. Lots of surprises and suspense made this one heck of a 5* read! I can’t get enough of two of my fave guys. Sigh.....

    21 books in. I remember when this series began. And I'm well behind with plenty to catch up on. Shameless is riveting! I don't usually read a book in two days, but this one, I just couldn't put down. If you've been reading Frank for a while, don't you dare skip this one! It is endearing...the heart races, then it opens. This is another one of my favorites!

    If, by chance, you're reading this and haven't yet cracked open one of the Nick and Carter books, I am here to tell you, do it! You don't have to start at the beginning, but don't start here either. Find something earlier and work your way here...you'll be happy you did!

    A lot can happen in a short time. This book rocked right from the first paragraph and just kept getting better. The plot thickens and in true Nick and Carter style, trouble seems to follow them. It is really nice they made it home but of course that wasn’t as easy as it could have been. As usual it is so worth the read.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2019
    It has been a few months since I read a book in this series and I was pleased to find that the stories remain as interesting and compelling as always. While not necessary for enjoyment, I recommend reading them in sequence since some characters and situations provide back history in the next book.

    This book deals with some very real history in central Africa, and San Francisco. It is gratifying to realize how far we’ve progressed when reading about how it once was. My congratulations to Mr. Butterfield for another great book.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Nick (who hands out $100 bills like tic-tacs), distracting information about a building he owns
    Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    The book begins in an exciting location at an exciting time: the Belgian Congo at the time of its independence. The lead characters then return to San Francisco where we are incessantly introduced to a cast of trivial new characters, endless details flaunting the wealth of the owner of the detective agency, Nick (who hands out $100 bills like tic-tacs) , distracting information about a building he owns.....As a result, the book lost all of its energy for me. I couldn't figure out if it was supposed to be a gay fantasy/romance (Harlequin) or a detective novel. I really wish the author would do some editing on the first few chapters (which showed real promise), throw away everything after that, and write a whole new middle and ending.
