Nocturne in Black and Gold

The fantasy world of Comic-Con explodes into a nightmare for Neal and Peter. Illusion becomes reality and secrets long buried come to light as they battle two arch-foes: the cybercriminal Azathoth and Vincent Adler. July 2005. Fluff: 4th of July, Comic-Con. Travel: Argentina, Washington, California. Follows Echoes of a Violin (Caffrey Conversation) and Fireflies at Midnight (Crossed Lines series).

My White Collar stories are set in the Caffrey Conversation universe created by Penna Nomen. In that world, Neal Caffrey--expert forger, thief, and con artist--is recruited by Special Agent Peter Burke to work for him at the FBI. Neal begins his new life in December 2003 when he is twenty-three years old. Unlike the TV series, Neal was never convicted of a crime and didn't serve time in prison.

Penna Nomen is the creator and chief muse of the series. She is also my writing partner. The complete list of Caffrey Conversation stories is on our blog, Penna Nomen & Silbrith Conversation.

This story is for fun. I don't own the rights to the White Collar TV series.
