Noah’s Rainy Day, Sandra Brannan

Noah Hogarty may suffer from cerebral palsy but his mind is way sharper than the average 12 year old’s and he wants to be a spy, like his Aunt Liv. Liv Bergen’s not actually a spy, she’s a freshly minted FBI agent about to take on her first real case.

It’s Christmas Eve and a little boy has gone missing from Denver International Airport. Liv and her bloodhound Beulah are assigned to track the kid. She and veteran agents Streeter Pierce and Jack Linwood are hours behind a meticulous kidnapper. While the boys high profile parents fly in from opposite coasts to await a ransom demand, Liv and the others don’t think there will be one.

Noah is working the case of ‘The Missing Backpack’ and thinking of playing with the little girl next door when he breaks the case, and possibly his leg, he thinks he left a vital clue for Liv but he doesn’t know if he can hold on for much longer.
