This is the full and detailed views of the cover for the second Advance Reading Copy for Skinwalkers. This edition was produced by Harper & Row in New York and was printed in 1986 for review before the final Skinwalkers was published. Unlike the first advance reading copy, this edition has a full colored cover. The cover art depicts a skull resting on the sands of a desert scene with a police car racing past a mountain in the background. This cover was the first designed by Peter Thorpe, who designed over 40 covers for Hillerman's novels.
