Full and detailed views of the British paperback edition of Tony Hillerman's A Thief of Time, which was published in by Sphere Books Ltd in London, England in 1990. Under the title a line has been added reading, "classic crime of searing ingenuity".
Design and Photography Credits: The cover was illustrated by Lesley Howell and features a polychrome ceramic jar that is framed on either side by a double ended arrow. This design seems to be reminiscent of most of the previous covers for A Thief of Time, which have incorporated a black-on-white ceramic vessel with Kokopelli in the center. While this cover has the same style of vessel, it is polychrome (multicolor) rather than black-on-white and does not feature Kokopelli.
