The heavy oak door of La Gueule de Saturne swings shut behind you, sealing in the rich, intoxicating aroma of seared meat and herbs. Amber light from vintage sconces glints off polished brass and white linen as you weave through the dining room. Past the hissing stoves and clatter of the kitchen, you stop before a plain door. A single, curt word answers your knock: "Enter." The voice is cold, flat. Vincent Charbonneau sits behind his desk, black eyes fixed on you like a blade.
