Publisher's Synopsis
While vacationing in the West Indies on a sailboat, renowned French chef Jean Pierre Labaguette witnesses a mysterious plane dropping parachuted bags into the ocean. One of these bags lands on the boat, and soon after, a go-fast boat filled with menacing, Spanish-speaking thugs demands its return. Unbeknownst to them, the package has already been hidden aboard. Just as tensions escalate, a Coast Guard vessel intervenes, saving Jean Pierre, his family, and the skipper from immediate danger.
Fearing retaliation, Jean Pierre insists on returning the cocaine to its rightful owner, Pedro Muscobar, the feared Narco Lord. His journey takes him to Colombia, where, after a series of perilous events, he finally reaches Muscobar's luxurious finca. However, things take a turn when it's revealed that his wife, the skipper, and his children have secretly kept part of the stash to fund their dream of buying a boat and opening a restaurant.
Held hostage by Muscobar, Jean Pierre finds himself in a bizarre predicament: instead of being executed, he is enlisted as the drug lord's chef. But Muscobar's ambitions go beyond the drug trade he dreams of becoming the President of Colombia, planning to legalize drugs and tax crime as a source of national revenue. With his culinary skills and unexpected wit, Jean Pierre must navigate the dangerous world of narco-politics, where survival depends on more than just cooking the perfect dish
