The Nazi Hunters by Neal Bascomb
In 1945, at the end of World War II, Adolf Eichmann, the head of
operations for the Final Solution, walked into the mountains of Germany
and vanished from view. Sixteen years later, an elite team of spies
captured him at a bus stop in Argentina and smuggled him to Israel,
resulting in one of the century's most important trials -- one that
cemented the Holocaust in the public imagination. The Nazi Hunters is
the thrilling and fascinating story of what happened between these two
events. Survivor Simon Wiesenthal opened Eichmann's case; a blind
Argentinean and his teenage daughter provided crucial information.
Finally, the Israeli spies -- many of whom lost family in the Holocaust
-- embarked on their daring mission, recounted here in full.

Roses by G. R. Mannering
The story follows Beauty from birth. She grows up without a name, living
with her cruel aunt, uncle and cousin. Beauty has a troubled
upbringing, hidden from guests and house staff because of her unusual
appearance of silvery skin and violet eyes. When an uprising hits
Beauty's home, she is forced to flee with stableboy Owaine as State
officials set out to kill those of magic blood. She spends time in the
Hillands, and this is where she really comes into her own - away from
punishment and torment and cruelty, and free from the grounds of her
aunt's home - though Beauty is still not accepted by all. Owaine, now
her acting-father, leaves the village for a while, only to return in the
harsh winter clutching a gift for Beauty - a red rose. But when he
plucked the rose from a beautiful garden beside a castle, he came
face-to-face with a ferocious beast who wants a life for a life -
Owaine's in return for the rose. Beauty cannot let Owaine die for her
and sets off to bargain with the beast... (from mfu_11's Amazon review)
