AB This article deals with two crime fiction books by Frantisek Smehlik: the novel Slyset jeleny zpivat (To Hear the Deer Sing, 2021) and the novel Selma (The Beast, 2022). The critical reviewing especially focuses on the problem of transposition and modification of the "nordic noir" narrative model (typical settings, plots, characters) to the Czech fiction.
