Como la sombra que se va

Como la sombra que se va is a novel by Spanish writer Antonio Muñoz Molina, published in 2014.

Plot
With the city of Lisbon as a common scenario, the book tells two parallel stories. On the one hand, the vicissitudes of James Earl Ray, assassin of Martin Luther King, in his escape after the commission of the crime and his passage through the Portuguese capital and later in London, where he was finally arrested with a passport in the name of Ramon George Sneyd. On the other hand, an autobiographical account by the author himself that goes back to the time when he wrote his first novel Winter in Lisbon.
