For you mystery buffs headed to California, two must-reads include Frank Norris the m resort s McTeague: A Story of San Francisco, a tale of love and greed set at the turn of the 20th century, and Dashiell Hammett s The Maltese Falcon, a detective novel that captures the seedier side of San Francisco in the 1920s. Another favorite is Raymond Chandler s The Big Sleep, in which Philip Marlowe explores the darker side of Los Angeles in the 1930s.
