The Third Target - Rilegato

From the back cover:

What if the Islamic State obtains weapons of mass destruction?
When a New York Times foreign correspondent hears rumors that ISIS has captured a cache of chemical weapons in Syria, he and his colleagues head into the imploding Arab country to find the truth. They uncover a plot that could lead to genocide. Already ISIS has attacked two governments, brutally killing anyone who stands in their way. Now they have their sights set on a third target. But who will it be? The United States? Israel? Or someone else? And can they be stopped in time?

From the inside flap:
The Israelis and Palestinians are on the verge of signing a historic comprehensive treaty. After decades of conflict, the world awaits a new era of peace. But now a new threat is rising.

The Islamic State, a dangerous al Qaeda offshoot also known as ISIS, is on the rampage. Already they have attacked two governments, brutally killing anyone who stands in their way. Now they have their sights set on a third target. But who will it be? The United States? Israel? Or someone else?

When award-winning New York Times correspondent J. B. Collins hears rumors that ISIS has captured a cache of chemical weapons, he risks everything by sneaking into Syria to locate and interview the commander of the terrorist organization. Under intense pressure from multiple governments not to publish his findings, he faces a decision that could cost him his career—or his life.

With the American president set to visit the region, the Middle East teeters on the edge of explosion.

As a war-weary world hopes for peace, and a bloodthirsty terrorist regime grows in strength, who will prevail? Can Collins, with the help of a mysterious and beautiful Mossad agent, alert the world to the danger before ISIS can unleash its apocalyptic vision?

Or with chemical weapons in the hands of radical Islamic jihadists, is it already too late?
