When sixteen-year-old Lila Jameson visits her town’s historic bank, she never expects her mother’s prized painting to vanish right off the wall. But when Cactus Bloom disappears without a trace, Lila can’t ignore the clues others overlook.
Lila isn’t an ordinary detective.
She’s slowly losing her eyesight to retinitis pigmentosa, and sometimes her world flickers with vivid Charles Bonnet Syndrome images... hallucinations that may be illusions… or insights. Using her cane, sharp intuition, and technology, Lila follows the threads no one else can see.
With her fearless best friend Ivy by her side, she uncovers a mystery that winds through quiet streets, dark secrets, and unexpected betrayals in her small Texas town. As danger closes in, Lila learns that vision isn’t just about what the eyes can see. It’s about believing in yourself when the world starts to fade.
The Vanishing Cactus is a heartfelt, fast-paced mystery about friendship, courage, and finding your own light in the shadows.
