Her husband of 23 years, Louie, vanished and several years later, two men confessed to being responsible for his murder. Milito was a member of the Gambino organized-crime family and the man who confessed to killing him was John Gotti, the Gambino family boss. Lynda Milito, discovered that Louie was killed by the very people who were supposed to protect him. Mafia Wife is the story of Lynda's and Louie's life. Lynda shares an unforgettable, intimate portrayal of living inside the dangerous world of the Mafia. In this fascinating personal drama about coming of age and being married to the mob, Lynda recounts her lonely childhood and her relationship with her mother. She confesses to being attracted to the danger and headiness of being with a powerful man. In telling the truth about the mob, Lynda divulges what she knows about Louie's criminal enterprises and the blind eye she turned, year after year, to the blood on his hands.
