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’

‘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
