Less a mystery unsolved than a secret well kept, the question of who betrayed Anne Frank and her family has haunted generations since World War II. Thanks to radical new technology and the dedication of a retired FBI agent, this book offers an answer. Rosemary Sullivan presents a gripping narrative that explores the story of Anne Frank, whose diary has captivated over thirty million readers. While many works have chronicled her life in hiding with her family and four others in Amsterdam, none have definitively explained how they evaded detection for over two years or what ultimately led to their arrest by the Nazis. Retired FBI agent Vincent Pankoke and a team of investigators meticulously examined tens of thousands of documents, some previously unseen, and interviewed numerous descendants of those familiar with the Franks. Using methods developed by the FBI, the Cold Case Team pieced together the events leading to the arrest, resulting in a shocking conclusion. This investigation reveals the complexities of wartime Amsterdam, where trust was elusive, regardless of wealth or education, and introduces us to the investigators, the dynamics between captives and captors, and a list of suspects.

This book about love and addictive relationships begins with a fable about one woman's experience with obsession, and succeeding chapters also use fables to explore the various components of obsession.
