«El fotógrafo y la muerte» is the crime novel by Antonio López Alonso, published by Suma de Letras in paperback (261 pages, in Spanish).
A forensic medicine student contemplates Robert Capa's iconic photo in which a militiaman falls shot during the Civil War and wonders whether the camera's shot captured the exact instant of death or was a setup. The investigation leads him to delve into the photographer's life and the boundaries between chance, truth, and the staging of an image.
The plot starts from a historical episode: the death of CNT militiaman Federico Borrell at Cerro Muriano on 5 September 1936.
