Houston, TX (PRWEB) August 26, 2004 -- As days slowly pass, change is so gradual that it often goes unnoticed. George Santayana claimed Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

Al Franzmeier is devoted to the study of the Great Depression. The variations we see in the economy today are nothing new, and his historical perspective is captivating.

THE SPIRAL BRIDGE, Franzmeiers first fiction project, takes place in a small Minnesota town during the Depression. A teacher attempting to hide her pregnancy ends up dead, and college student Tillie Tilden works with the local deputy sheriff to find out why. Tillie faces danger and possible death, but continues her pursuit to learn what really happened. Plot intricacies and intrigue abound in Franzmeiers noir treatment of murder in a small Minnesota college town.

Contemporary readers may be unaware of the subtleties of a culture viewed through a fifty year lens, but Franzmeier provides the focus to immerse the reader in depression era culture. Historical accuracy brings the great depression to life and draws the reader into a web of deception and mystery as they follow Tillies quest for justice.
