Summary/Abstract: The main aim of the article is the interpretation of the works written by Ryszard Ćwirlej in the 21st century, in the years 2007–2016. The series of crime fiction novels shows investigations conducted by the Citizen’s Militia officers in Poznań in the 1980s, during martial law and a few years later. However, in Ćwirlej’s work, the history of the Wielkopolska community during the declining period of the People’s Republic of Poland is more important. Numerous images of the regional variation of those collective experiences and (too) many portraits of the inhabitants of the Polish province are the features that distinguish the author from many other contemporary writers of crime fiction.
