Clarke on Late Victorian Crime Fiction in the Shadows of Sherlock Now Available in Paperback

Clare Clarke's Late Victorian Crime Fiction in the Shadows of Sherlock is now available in paperback from Palgrave Macmillan. Here is a description of the contents from the publisher's website.
This book investigates the development of crime fiction in the 1880s and 1890s, challenging studies of late-Victorian crime fiction which have given undue prominence to a handful of key figures and have offered an over-simplified analytical framework, thereby overlooking the generic, moral, and formal complexities of the nascent genre.
Price is $90 (compare to $95 for hardcover, so not much of a discount).  However, the author indicates that price is incorrect; the correct price is 16.50 pounds for the paperback. I have asked about the price in USD.

Update: July 25, 2016:  pricing for paperback still not fixed.
