Overview

"1926, Washington, D. C. In the Prohibition Rum Wars, the Coast Guard is losing. But the Coast Guard has a new, secret weapon. That secret weapon is a 5'2"" mastermind in heels, who also happens to be a wife and mother: Mrs. Elizebeth Smith Friedman. Bahamas When Marie Waite notices discrepancies in cargo, she insists on accompanying her husband, Charlie, on a run. There, not only does Marie witness her husband's shortcomings, but she becomes enthralled by Cleo Lythgoe, ""The Bahama Queen."" So begins Marie's plan to rise as rumrunner royalty long enough to get her family in the black. What she didn't count on was that the more sophisticated her operation grows, the more she comes on the radar of the feds. On the other side of the law, Elizebeth is the only codebreaker battling scores of smugglers. Once the work becomes personal, and she discovers Marie as a premier adversary, Elizebeth's desire to catch the woman becomes almost obsessive. From the glamorous world of D. C. Intelligence to the sultry shores of the Straits of Florida, The Last Twelve Miles is based on the true story of two women masterminds trying to outwit each other in a dangerous and fascinating game of high stakes."
