Lucy DaCosta
A self-made Brazilian finance titan who tells the Federal Reserve what to do.
Lucy DaCosta clawed her way from nothing to the top of the financial world, running one of its biggest banks and answering to no one. Brazilian, brilliant, and impossible to intimidate, she is as comfortable reading a trading screen through a market crash as she is putting a Sig Sauer in her bag and walking out of a burning tower. She has loved dangerous men and buried a bad marriage, and she has never once let either slow her down. When the people she cares about land in the crosshairs, she doesn’t wait to be protected, she picks up the phone, or the gun. Grace, steel, and a mind that misses nothing.
“Cut the Fed Fund Rates now. You’re playing with fricking fire.”
