Summary/Abstract: Mīludī Hamdušī (1947-2019) was a famous Moroccan novelist, one of the outstanding figures of the Moroccan literary scene, generally considered as the pioneer of the Moroccan Noir in Arabic thanks to al-Ḥūt al-aʿmà (The Blind Whale) co-written with ʿAbd al-Ilāh al- amd šī in 1997. His writing career does not begin with this novel, but a few years earlier, in 1991, with the novel entitled Muǧtamaʿ al-ṣudfa (The Society of Chance). This article aims to analyze this first novel and questions the very beginning of the detective novel in Morocco.Mīlūdī Ḥamdūšī
