This is the full and detailed views of the Sphere Books Ltd. paperback edition of Talking God, the ninth book in Tony Hillerman's Navajo Mystery Series. The cover illustration was designed by Lesley Howell, who also designed the dust jacket for the first British edition published by Michael Joseph. The cover features the pictorial representation of Talking God against a bright red background with two arrows with feathers on both ends on either side. The cover advertises this as a Leaphorn, Jim Chee Mystery and quotes the Sunday times calling Hillerman "A masterly crime novelist." This edition of Talking God is similar to another edition which was also published by Sphere Books Ltd. in the same year with the same cover but has a different ISBN number and different advertisements in the back. This edition also includes the Australian and New Zealand prices for the book in addition to its price in pounds.
