This week at latimes.com/books:
In Dark Passages, Sarah Weinman uses Dashiell Hammett’s quintessential private eye novel, “The Maltese Falcon” -- which is the National Endowment for the Arts’ latest Big Read selection for libraries and communities across the country -- to get at the issue of reinvention in the mystery, books that tweak our expectations of the form.
Lists and blog: Look for expanded bestsellers, book excerpts, photo galleries and our calendar of local literary events.
