Grand Cru Heist
“Their meal was copious, with a coriander-flavored nage de langoustines, mullet filets sautéed with endive, veal tenderloin with morels, and a slow-cooked carrot and orange dessert. Then Artigny’s sommelier dug up some aged rum that called for two cigars—double coronas from Partagas. After everything he had been through in Paris, nothing was more important to Benjamin Cooker’s morale than savoring the present.
The two men were in brilliant form and raised their glasses to life, love, and the...ir respective success. By the time Morgan revved up his sweet engine to drive back to La Tortinière, neither of the two men could even pretend to be lucid.
