Dear Professor Bilaniuk,

My name is Jeremy Dwyer.  I am a research assistant and sometime 
lecturer and tutor at Monash University (Australia).

I have been invited by University of Wales Press to put together a 
proposal for an edited volume on contemporary Central and Eastern 
European crime fictions.  However, my sole field of expertise is 
Russian detektiv, and thus I am seeking out scholars who can shed light 
on the genre's development in other parts of Central and Eastern 
Europe.  

It is for this reason that I am writing: to seek your assistance as a 
scholar who has strong research interests in the Ukraine and popular 
culture.  I wondered whether your interests include Ukrainian crime 
fiction, or if you know of any other scholars who are researching 
Ukrainian crime fiction and might be interested in contributing a 
chapter to this volume.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely, Jeremy Dwyer.
