The study analyses the linguistic means representing social phenomena, structures and processes in Dominik Dán´s criminal novel “Noc temných klamstiev” (2009, Night of dark Deceptions). Methodologically, it is based on the concept of interactive stylistics, specifically its socio-stylistic subsystem. The main aim of the analysed linguistic means in the structure of the novel is (i) to characterise the setting, characters, situations and relations; (ii) to indicate the more complex stylistic qualities, mainly the contrast with the often humorous solution between textual tension and de tension; and (iii) to be a part of irony as the main author´s attitude towards reality.
