In this article we intend to show the configuration of death and manner of involvement in the protagonist of the novel El complot mongol of the mexican writer Rafael Bernal. We highlight how death is set up as a strong presence that accompanies us throughout our life, the uncertainty of their appearance in the succession of vital time leaves a mark that is a heavy burden to carry. From this reading proposal, for the analysis of this novel by Bernal, we rely on some authors who have reflected on the features of the police literature, and others who have problematized the conception of death; thus, we formulate how the figure of the death appears in the novel. In this regard, in El complot mongol the protagonist Filiberto García sees itself as a manufacturer of dead, for him death has been something near and clear, their presence has defined the vision he has of things.References
