About this title

Review

"[An] eye-opening investigation...Miller, Stone, and Mitchell connect a lot of dots in this frightening and important book."

"[The authors] bring high credibility to this streetwise, gritty police procedural...The Cell crackles like a police radio, racing along with tabloid urgency...An important addition to the growing literature on al Qaeda."

"A riveting, frightening, and illuminating book."

"[Has] the feel of a true crime documentary."
