Abstract: The article offers a detailed analysis and comparison of four works of popular Indonesian literature (two texts dd 1955 and two dd 1967) in order to trace the vectors of development of the detective genre in the Indonesian literature. The analysis precedes an excursion into the history of criminal genres in the literature of Indonesia. The study shows that, using the selected texts as an example, there is a certain difference between the detective-type literature before the political changes and the transition to the New Order (1965), and afterwards, also allows us to take another step towards the study of the detective genre in Indonesian literature.
