In the space of modern culture there can be seen an approchement of mass and elite literature, which is manifested in the formation of numerous hybrid forms using the iconic constructions of a classic detective. New novel modifications, on the one hand, are considered as the development and transformation of the detective genre, and on the other hand, as the disappearance and dissolution of the detective tradition, blurring of genre boundaries.
