When Lynda Lustig met Louie Milito, she was a sixteen-year-old high-school
dropout with a taste for adventure and an agonizing childhood. When they were
married two years later, he was not yet a made man in the powerful Gambino
crime family. Louie was a hairdresser who dabbled in petty thievery. But Lynda
was so happy to be out of her domineering mothers loveless house. And over the
years, she was willing to forgive her husband for anything: his violent rages, his
frequent absences, his shady associates, and the blood on his hands. For twentyfour
years Lynda Milito remained loyal to this charming and dangerous criminal
— her childrens father and close friend of crime boss John Gotti and underboss
Sammy the Bull Gravano. But in 1988, Louie Milito disappeared, murdered by the
very people he had always trusted to protect him.
A crime story, a family story, a love story, Mafia Wife is the shockingly intimate,
brutally honest tale of a survivor — and of the life she lived in the dark bosom of
the underworld.
