“The rise and fall of Carlos Ghosn is a modern-day Greek tragedy—the story of a brilliant and industrious man whose greed and hubris took him from the top of the global auto industry to Interpol’s most-wanted list. In their deeply reported book, Kostov and McLain tell this story with nuance and empathy. . . . A fascinating read.”

“A hard-hitting exposé that dispels forever the myth of the superstar CEO.”

— Tom Wright, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Billion Dollar Whale

“An explosive exposé of a disgraced automotive-industry titan…This exciting, vividly detailed book explores a variety of relevant topics, including globalization, international business ethics, and how excessive wealth and fame have the potential to corrupt even the shrewdest businessperson. First-rate reporting on corporate savvy and greed and the ultimate cinematic escape.”

— Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review

“[BOUNDLESS is] a fascinating and fast-moving account of one of the auto industry's most successful executives, his alleged crimes, and his eventual escape from authorities…The minute I poked my nose into Nick Kostov and Sean McLain’s Boundless, I was hooked…Actions like [Carlos Ghosn’s] need to be exposed and examined. Nick Kostov and Sean McLain do an excellent job of that.”

“Kostov and McLain, both Wall Street Journal reporters, have unearthed lots of new details, and they tell that part of the story with all the verve and tension of a good spy novel.”
