From September 13 through October 12, communities across the Valley are reading Dashiell Hammett’s thrilling mystery novel, The Maltese Falcon. The Arizona State Library, Archives, and Public Records Department celebrates the art of mystery-writing by presenting author and columnist Jon Talton. Jon returns to Phoenix to discuss his Arizona-based David Mapstone mysteries, his upcoming novels, and Arizona issues.
Jon is a fourth-generation Arizonan who worked for the Arizona Republic from 2000 to 2007 as a columnist. He now lives in Seattle, where he is a columnist for the Seattle Times and runs the blog Rogue Columnist. Jon will be available for questions and to sign books. Books will be available for purchase.
