Plot Summary of Blindfold Game
"Hugh and Sara have been married but living apart for years. Hugh is a Washington DC based CIA desk jockey and Sara is the XO about an USCG cutter. This action packed story is about how their paths cross to thwart a terrorist operation.

Hugh gathers information for the CIA and one of his contacts brings him startling news about a number of terrorists who have been seen consorting together in Thailand and Russia. Hugh puts together the information that this is a plot to drop a dirty bomb on an Alaskan city

The terrorists are getting the bomb to Alaska in different parts via shipping and fishing vessels in the Bearing Sea. Sara encounters part of their contingent unknowingly.   When Hugh is convinced of what is to happen and no one at the CIA believes him he heads to Alaska where he knows someone who will. "
