The search for a frighteningly powerful murderer leads Tweed and his two colleagues, Paula Grey and Bob Newman, once again to travel the world. This time they are joined by Jules Beaurain, old friend of Tweed's and ex-police officer from Belgium.
Apparently, the wife of the minister of security has gone missing near some mysterious village, Carpford. Tweed and his people investigate the disappearance, against the wishes of the minister. The town is full of mysterious people, and somehow, Tweed and his people see a connection between this and the arrival of Muslim terrorists in England (they're wearing turbans; they must be terrorists). Al Qaeda is planning an attack on London, and Tweed must stop it.
"The Cell" should have been a good suspense novel/political thriller, but it's not. It just goes from one uninteresting scene to the next. Tweed and his people talk about the terrosit threat, they visit Carpford. They go back to headquarter. Back to Carpford. Paula Grey and some Belgian agent goes to Italy to talk to some person. They go back to Carpford. More people disappear. And so on and so on without anything interesting happening. It gets boring pretty quickly. You'll be better off reading something else. Not recommended.
