Passion builds between counterterrorism operative Jamie Cooper and security analyst Rhonda Burns as they work together on the One-Eyed Jacks' latest mission and investigate a sniper attack that left a close friend near death.

Running Blind

The One-Eyed Jacks are surprised by a sniper attack during a morning meeting at a local restaurant.  Several are injured, one critically, so Jamie "Coop" Cooper takes over leadership in order to facilitate finding out who tried to lay waste to their team.  Rhonda Burns, computer specialist for the One-Eyed Jacks must now take on the latest assignment and go out in the field with Coop to protect a Russian scientist whose work could prove deadly if it ends up in the wrong hands.  While on assignment, Rhonda and Coop find it more difficult than ever to keep their attraction under wraps.

The focus of Running Blind is split into two parts.  The story line surrounding the sniper who is after the team is interesting, but makes up very little of the plot.  The Russian story line is far less interesting, but consumes a large part of the narrative.  Also the underdeveloped characters in the story make tough to connect with the plot as a whole.  Overall, Running Blind is a lackluster entry in the One-Eyed Jacks series.
