Tender: The Rook Series Book Two

Some wounds never close. Some handlers never let go. Six months after Prague, Cole Rook is trying to disappear. The visions haven't stopped—if anything, they're getting worse, showing him horrors that haven't happened yet. When his former handler tracks him to a safehouse in Vienna, Cole learns that someone is hunting ex-Agency assets, leaving behind crime scenes that read like messages only he can decode. The killer wants Cole's attention. They want his gift. And they're willing to burn through everyone Cole ever worked with to get it. As bodies accumulate across three continents, Cole must decide whether to stay dead—or step back into the shadows one more time. But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes this isn't about him. It's about what he saw during those seven minutes when his heart stopped. And someone else saw it too.
