Large orange uppercase “IAN RANKIN” lettering spans the upper part of the cover. The cream title, “A Good” above “Hanging,” sits in the lower half in visibly rough-edged, textured letters. A cropped dark figure in trousers and shoes hangs against a blue-grey and pale window-like background; a small review quote appears at the top.
