Yes there is. That picture's been doing the rounds online for well over a 
year and is utterly fake.

The genuine Bloomsbury covers have been known for a few months and appear 
on all the usual bookseller websites (e.g.
http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/0747551006.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
for the "standard" edition
or
http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/0747569401.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
for the "adult" edition).

The US covers have recently been discussed ad nauseam on this list, so I 
assume you've seen them.

I have a vague recollection that the fake is an adaptation of a cover from 
another book, but I can't for the sake of me remember what it is. It is Bad 
Journalism (TM) on the part of the India Times if they actually published 
that picture without comment, as it doesn't require rocket science or any 
particular knowledge of the internet to find the genuine article.
