About Five Days in Bogotá:
Five Days in Bogotá will have readers racing through the high-stakes world of international art deals.
Ally Blake risks everything to exhibit at an art fair in Bogotá in 1990. She needs to meet wealthy collectors to boost her gallery's sales and save her family from bankruptcy. When she discovers her art crates have been tampered with and two paintings worth millions-that do not belong to her gallery-have been placed inside, her plans unravel. Chief among her problems is US Political Attaché David Martinez, an ex-boyfriend and former colleague from her posting with the State Department in Santiago. He attempts to drag her into a scheme to sell paintings seized from drug lords at an art auction and use the proceeds to fund a war Congress will not approve. Ally refuses. She devises a strategy to thwart their fraud, protect her children, and secure her family's future-but pulling it off will require her to make the art deal of a lifetime.
