Wednesday, June 16, 1954
Construction on the new twenty-story building for Consolidated Security at the corner of Market and Montgomery is ahead of schedule, thanks to Henry and Pam. Nick is looking forward to his office on the nineteenth floor. The twentieth floor is designed to be a restaurant. He's hoping for French or Italian. Carter wants something with less garlic.
But then an unknown man falls from the top of the steel skeleton and things grind to a halt.
When Henry gets a late-night call warning him and Nick to not investigate, Mike takes action to protect them both but Nick gets a late-night visit from some wiseguys and it doesn't end well... for them.
That's just the beginning of a tale of mobsters, refugees, and The Old Poodle Dog that twists and turns its way to a thrilling conclusion.
In the end, it's an adventure for Nick, Carter, and the whole gang in the City we love the most Baghdad By The Bay.

Well, things keep getting weirder and more interesting in 1954 San Francisco. Nick Williams, richest gay man in America, is building an office building. Part of this is simply expanding his real estate holdings in the City by the Bay, but Nick also needs room for his expanding business, Consolidated Security. All of Nick’s businesses employ gay folks cast aside by social prejudice, making him a sort of happy super hero.Then it looks like the mob is getting involved, and Nick learns something more of the complications of doing business in the construction trades. A strange murder leads Nick and his friends down yet another torturous road to a surprise ending, but along the way there’s more to be said about Nick’s new relationship with his father and the “pile of rocks” he grew up in on Nob Hill. Now that Nick’s secretary, Marnie Wilson (homage to Della Street) is also his stepsister, there are complications in his life that are, for once, happy.
Plus, now that Nick’s husband, Carter Jones, the tall drink of water from Georgia, has his own budding career as an arson investigator working for their company, he’s away from home more. Nick’s loneliness stirs up all sorts of emotions he normally keeps tamped down. In Butterfield’s usual way, he mixes the detective story with an ongoing love story, and into that stirs fascinating facts about gay life in the bad old days. As ever, Nick’s coterie of once-wounded friends is there, backing him up and giving him purpose.
Carter is the dark horse in this book. Nick loves Carter, desperately, but he doesn’t always see him as being a proactive force in their life together. Let’s just say that Nick learns better this time around.

The Mangled Mobster A Nick Williams Mystery Book 7 edition by Frank W Butterfield Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I'm just going to say that I love this series and always impatiently wait for the next installment.
I love this entire series. Nick are Carter are irresistible. And there's a great bunch of characters. The writing is fun to read and if this is the last book, I will be very unhappy
I've been enjoying this series very much. The books are fast paced, exciting and we'll crafted.
Although most of the regular characters are gay men, and there are frequent romantic interludes, I'd recommend this book to any reader who enjoys a fun mystery with romance.
I have read this whole series and have enjoyed every book of it. They are a combination mystery and love stories that deals with the day to day life of Nick and Carter. I love their story and can't wait for each new book. I started reading them on Unlimited but now buy them so I can reread them when I want.
These just keep getting better and better. I love the characters in the Nick Williams Mysteries, and I just want to keep following them through their lives together in San Francisco. The combination of gay history and San Francisco history is so interesting and an added feature that I appreciate.
Without necessarily being able to cite why, in my opinion Frank W. Butterfield took things to a new level with The Mangled Mobster. I noticed it right in the beginning chapters and was reminded throughout the novel. I had stated (in a separate review) that The Larconic Lumberjack was my favorite up to that point in the series, but now I can't say for sure whether it still is.
Nick and Carter's world is expanding around us (the readers), and it is such fun to behold! Oh...and there were some more one-liners that had me roar with laughter. Boy do I love that!
I cannot praise this series of books enough. The stories just really grip you.. Full of action and fantastic characters. It's just how I imagined life for gays to be in the 1950's. Incidentally I was born in 1952 so I understand a lot about where the author is coming from. Can't wait for the next instalment. It's a series I know I will read from the beginning again.
