The study interprets the detective novel by Zygmunt Miloszewski, Ziarno prawdy (2011), while focusing in the fashion in which the novel analyses the mechanism of anti-Semitism. A significant role in the culprit ś plotting of a fake ritual murder is played by a city with a collective memory, which inspired the modus operandi of the act, when the murder made use of the rooted anti-Semitism of the local community. The myth of the ritual murder in the anti- Semitic interpretation originates through the distortion of the original meaning of the cultural units, their incorrect condensation and the rearrangement of their functions to incorrect positions. In the solution this projection of the culprit onto an „Other“ is discovered to be false, revealing that the worst crimes occur out of hatred behind locked doors. Miloszewski sets these current issues into the genre structure of a classical detective story with the solution abiding by the principles of fair play, while the thriller denouement through a found document is proved to be false.

The paper interprets the radical way of rewriting the detective fiction in the short story by Pavel Vilikovský Celkový pohľad na Máriu B. (The Overall View of Maria B., 1968) and in his novel Prvá veta spánku (The First Sentence of Sleep, 1983). The two texts are in a mutual relation of variants, while their intertextual illumination generates more meanings. In the short story the narrator tells the whole story in the modality of possibility. Several events of the narrative structure are of an ontic nature. The text of the short story provides only the reader with one side of the communication process of investigation – the sender, the detective asking questions, i.e. the text offers the base of the evidence, not the core. The veil of the detective´s hypotheses conceals or at least obscures the reality – and the detective has to use simple existential statements in order to ensure what is real. Here the detective becomes a machine to generate hypotheses about the reality after the reality (the past murder) has disappeared. The novel Prvá veta spánku is disappointing in terms of genre expectations raised by itself – a seemingly detective novel becomes a novel featuring an external perpetrator. This genre method is motivated by the composition structure itself – the trifold consecutive focalization of the narration and two fake solutions. The criminal solution of the case is enabled by the unexpected abduction of the detective: the scene of crime and the weather – the remote stone-pit during the rain – help the detective draw the conclusion as to the fundamental characteristic of the perpetrator.

This article is a case study focusing on the novel Derriére les panneaux il y a des hommes (2015) by Swiss writer Joseph Incardona. It proves that this winner of the Grand Prix de Littérature Policiére uses devices of crime fiction as a pretext to reflect on present-day social problems. After a brief introduction to the context of detective literature in France where the novel was published, an in-depth textual analysis is carried out. Its results show that the book is neither a traditional detective novel nor a thriller, but a roman noir. Subsequently, Incardona ś unique idiolect, the way in which he depicts the present, and his means of expression are discussed.
