This is the full and detailed view of the first paperback edition of The Fallen Man, published by HarperPaperbacks in 1997.
The cover illustrations are by Peter Thorpe, who designed covers for many of the US editions of Hillerman's work. The front cover has a beige background. The author's name and the novel title are printed in raised metallic red. The illustration is a representation of a Navajo Yei figure in front of an upside down triangle with feathers hanging from the sides. Inside the triangle are some sandstone formations on one side of the Yei figure and Ship Rock mountain on the other side, below a sky with clouds and New Mexico sunset coloration at the top.
The back cover is beige. Flanked by two Yei figures with gesturing arms is the novel title and synopsis. Below this is the bar code and price.
On the spine, the publisher's logo is printed above the author's name and title printed in red metallic, and the price.
The inside front cover contains the logo, publisher's name, bar code, and price. The inside back cover displays a 1993 photo of Tony Hillerman with credit to AP NewsFeatures Photo, and a short biography of the author.
