Web of the Eagle

The turbulent 1860's. America is embroiled in a bloody civil war. In a politically restless Europe, Napoleon 3rd lays plans to establish a foothold in the Americas, an expansion of the French Empire that threatens the stability fo the western world. A shadowy figure who calls himself "The Eagle," using the oldest trick in the book, weaves himself a web of influence over the American business and political community, which is powerless to escape his clutches. When his ambitions turn toward Mexico, even Napoleon is drawn into his trap. From the American south-west to industrial New England, from Washington high society to the sweaty slums of New Orleans, the predator expands his empire, immune from the law. But the hunter himself is being hunted by a figure from the past, an avenger with a very personal score to settle.
