The mystery has haunted generations since the Second World War: Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family? And why?
Now, thanks to radical new technology and the obsession of a retired FBI agent, this book offers an answer. Rosemary Sullivan unfolds the story in a gripping, moving narrative.
Over thirty million people have read The Diary of a Young Girl, the journal teenaged Anne Frank kept while living in an attic with her family and four other people in Amsterdam during World War II, until the Nazis arrested them and sent them to a concentration camp. But despite the many works - journalism, books, plays and novels - devoted to Anne's story, none has ever conclusively explained how these eight people managed to live in hiding undetected for over two years - and who or what finally brought the Nazis to their door.
With painstaking care, retired FBI agent Vincent Pankoke and a team of indefatigable investigators pored over tens of thousands of pages of documents - some never before seen - and interviewed scores of descendants of people familiar with the Franks. Utilising methods developed by the FBI, the Cold Case Team painstakingly pieced together the months leading to the infamous arrest - and came to a shocking conclusion.
The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation is the riveting story of their mission. Rosemary Sullivan introduces us to the investigators, explains the behaviour of both the captives and their captors and profiles a group of suspects. All the while, she vividly brings to life wartime Amsterdam: a place where no matter how wealthy, educated, or careful you were, you never knew whom you could trust.

The New York Times bestseller
'A stunning piece of historical detective work, cleverly structured and grippingly written'
Daily Telegraph, five stars
'Powerfully illuminates what it was like to live under a genocidal regime'
Kathryn Hughes, Guardian
'As much about the process of investigation as about the subject investigated. Along the way [Sullivan] lucidly describes many fascinating details of the compromises and betrayals of life under a murderous regime'
Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday
'Sullivan circles all of the possibilities like Agatha Christie with Zoom and a time machine. Shaped like a procedural or a whodunit, The Betrayal of Anne Frank hums with living history, human warmth and indignation'
New York Times
'Featuring startling new revelations and an intriguing new theory of what happened'
Daniel Finklestein, The Times
'Praiseworthy. With impressive clarity and dramatic effect, Sullivan reconstructs a complex investigation lasting five years'
Gerard de Groot, The Times
'A gripping, moving narrative'
Press Association
'Meticulous ... Sullivan describes the Cold Case Team's interdisciplinary methods, from criminal profiling, historical research and crowdsourcing to a Microsoft artificial intelligence program that found connections within a blizzard of archival documents. But the book is most engrossing as a portrait of wartime Amsterdam, a city of conflicting and cross-cutting loyalties, where personal peril could erase the line between heroism and villainy'

Boston Globe
"Intermittently gripping . . . meticulous . . . the book is most engrossing as a portrait of wartime Amsterdam, a city of conflicting and cross-cutting loyalties, where personal peril could erase the line between heroism and villainy. . . . Sullivan's dissection of Nazi-occupied Amsterdam's labyrinthine ethical byways-and how genocidal war produced moral rot-may be a greater contribution than the true-crime story that inspired the project." - Boston Globe
"A deep dive into life in the Netherlands in the grotesque and difficult year that was 1944. It describes the lives of occupiers and occupied, of perpetrators and victims, of collaborators and those who looked away. For this alone, Sullivan has made a significant contribution." - AirMail
"Sullivan's narrative, full of twists and turns and dead-end leads, commands attention at every page, dramatic without being sensational." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Hums with living history, human warmth and indignation....Sullivan circles all of these possibilities like Agatha Christie with Zoom and a time machine." - New York Times
"The Betrayal of Anne Frank is a stunning piece of historical detective work, cleverly structured and grippingly written." - Telegraph (UK)
"Powerfully illuminates what it was like to live under a genocidal regime. . . . A compelling picture of what it was like to live in Amsterdam under Nazi occupation: here is a collection of increasingly isolated individuals, hungry, terrified and daily faced with impossible choices about whether to save themselves, their loved ones, or the nice family that lives next door. And it is this moral vacuum that follows in the wake of antisemitism, rather than any particular 'perp', that betrayed Anne Frank." - Guardian
