Overview

In a household defined by affection, privilege, and impeccable order, nothing appears to be missing. Ridhei Moreau is seventeen, quietly observant, and deeply loved by his family. There is no history of neglect, no visible trauma, no obvious fracture in the life unfolding around him. Yet from within this carefully maintained normality, Ridhei experiences a profound absence he cannot name-a life observed rather than inhabited, emotions understood but never felt. Told in restrained, precise prose, No Known Cause follows Ridhei through the routines of family life, public appearances, and private conversations, tracing the subtle dissonance between outward harmony and internal emptiness. When an unthinkable act occurs without anger, desperation, or clear intent, the narrative refuses the comforts of explanation. There is no hidden secret waiting to be uncovered, no singular moment that clarifies what has happened. As investigators, experts, and the public search for motive, the novel shifts its focus from the crime itself to the human need for causality. Through the parallel perspective of a detective unsettled by the absence of answers, No Known Cause examines how language, psychology, and storytelling fail when confronted with meaninglessness. Unflinching and quietly disturbing, this novel is not about why violence happens, but about what remains when reason collapses. It challenges the assumption that every action must contain a readable cause, and asks a more unsettling question: what if nothing was broken to begin with?
