Tuesday, December 15, 1953
Ivan Kopek is missing and his parents desperately want Nick's help. Ike, as he's known to his friends, is quickly found once Nick, Carter, and their pals are on the case. Unfortunately, Ike's in jail for a murder he didn't commit. And it was only because he didn't get the chance to do it himself.
Meanwhile, it's almost Christmas. Nick's least favorite time of the year.
But, Carter wants a Christmas tree and Dr. Parnell Williams, Nick's evil bastard of a father, has summoned them both to the mansion on Sacramento Street for Christmas day at 12 noon. And they're not to be late.
In the end, Christmas brings Nick & Carter a number of unexpected and life-changing packages, both big and small.

My only problem with this, the sixth book in the Nick Williams series, is that it felt like a finale.In the Savage Son, Nick Williams takes on the search for a missing young man, Ike Kopek. As in all of the Nick William’s books, twists and turns begin immediately, as the information Ike’s parents give Nick turns out to not quite mesh with the reality Nick discovers.
Every one of these books takes a look at some aspect of gay life in America in the early 1950s, conjuring up a vivid period setting, replete with cars and men’s fashions. We see a world that is long gone, but lives on in Butterfield’s vivid descriptions and spare, no-nonsense prose. We are constantly reminded of the slings and arrows that gay folk suffered in this period, even if they managed to survive and thrive. Nick himself is subjected to treatment that is shocking by today’s standards, in spite of his wealth. I have likened Williams to a gay Batman, but Perry Mason is obviously going to come to mind for any mystery reader (or person my age who watched TV in the 1950s as a kid).
The larger surprise in this book is that we realize that, over the course of these six-plus books, we’ve developed something of a detailed profile on Nick’s own psyche. Rejected by his rich family and haunted by the disappearance of his mother when he was a boy, Nick uses the vast fortune inherited from his notorious great uncle Paul to do good for his gay brothers and sisters. But Nick is never bitter; he loves life, he loves his husband Carter (and dares to call him that), and wants to make the world easier for people like him who have been beaten up (sometimes literally) by a bigoted world. Nick suppresses the pretensions of his privileged upbringing, but never loses the confidence (some might say arrogance) that enables him to think of ways to defeat the Powers that Be in favor of the downtrodden and oppressed.
Aside from the central missing-man-and-murder plot arc of this book, there is a huge amount going on all around, involving Nick’s friends and colleagues. All of this builds to a surprisingly emotional Christmas, which includes wonderful vignettes of shopping in San Francisco during the postwar book of retail. We see in this book how Nick has changed, and how the world is beginning to move toward tolerance one person at a time.
This was my favorite book of the series. I hope it’s not the end of the series, because I love Nick and Carter and Marnie and all the rest.

The Savage Son A Nick Williams Mystery Book 6 edition by Frank W Butterfield Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
It is such a fun read and I can't wait to see what the cast is up to next I am very pleased.
The entire series is easy to read and the stories keep one's interest. I hope the author keeps writing more!
I love the Nick Williams mysteries. Very interesting and entertaining. I love Nick and Carter and their friends. I wasn't captivated or interested in Ike's family or the mystery itself. Still, I can't wait to start the next book.
Once again, The Savage Son, tells a good story. All of the characters are well developed and endearing. Another enjoyable episode in the series.
An easy, quick read. This is the first Nick & Carter novel I've read and my only recommendation to others new to this series is start with the first book and work your way forward.
So far, I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in the series and this one is no exception. When I first completed it, however, I couldn't think of anything specific to say about it. I thus decided to move on without hardly a break.
Having now completed The Mangled Mobster, which was stellar, I know what to say. First, this book lays foundation for the next. Many of the characters you meet here have steady roles in Mobster. And given that The Mangled Mobster was SO good, read this and then move right into that.
Looking back, they feel very much like one story...and a good one!
There is a clean straight forward feel the characters. In the beginning of the series, I felt I did not get enough insight into the characters, but over the series they unfold, and they show distinct charming traits and quirks. The whole series has a wish fulfilling quality to it Young and rich, the main character is able to buy his way out of trouble and help anyone who enters his orb, financially. This might be a weakness, for sometimes it feels like there are not enough real obstacles in the main characters way, therefore not a lot of tension. Yet, something about this particular walk into someone's charmed life keeps engaging me to read yet one more of these stories. I think the two elements that help this series not drift too far into just wish fulfilling fantasy, is the well researched historic context that the story takes place in and the realistic feeling relationships between the different couples, as old friendships dissolved and new ones are formed.
