Unfortunately, nothing that's come out of late will remotely compare to The Maltese Falcon.
Try one of these:
The Black Dahlia
Zodiac
Sin City
Prime Suspect
Fracture
Here's a list of recent movies with keyword 'detective' from IMDB; you can also narrow down the list with another keyword.

I read a lot of good things about *Brick*. I know it's a sort of novelty film, but the point seems to be that it truly is hardboiled.

Check out the following police/detective films from HK
SPL
http://imdb.com/title/tt0478024/
Dragon Squad
http://imdb.com/title/tt0446313/
Invisible Target
http://imdb.com/title/tt0995739/
And if you like noir than look no further than
L.A. Confidential
Not recent but by far one of the best (I know it's about cops but it's still gritty).

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was really good, but it had more comedy in it than you might want
