«El violinista de Mauthausen» is the historical novel by Andrés Pérez Domínguez, published by Algaida in paperback (544 pages, in Spanish).
In the spring of 1940, a couple about to marry in Paris sees the German invasion change everything: he, an exiled Spanish Republican, is arrested by the Gestapo and deported to Mauthausen; she becomes involved with the Allied secret services to try to save him. Between them crosses a German engineer who has abandoned his work in Berlin so as not to serve the Nazis and who travels Europe with his violin. Their fates become linked in a plot of espionage, adventure and romance that unfolds between occupied Paris, war-ravaged Berlin and the extermination camp.

Recommended for readers of historical fiction set in the Second World War who are looking for a story of espionage, intrigue and romance with Spanish characters in exile.
