When Light Yagami finds a notebook giving him power over death, will
he use it for good--or evil?
Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects--and he's bored out
of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a
notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is
written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power
of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But when criminals
begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to
track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of
his noble goal...or his life?
Light thinks he's put an end to his troubles with the FBI--by using the
Death Note to kill off the FBI agents working the case in Japan! But one
of the agents has a fiancée who used to work in the Bureau, and now
she's uncovered information that could lead to Light's capture. To make
matters worse, L has emerged from the shadows to work directly with the
task force headed by Light's father. With people pursuing him from every
direction, will Light get caught in the conflux?
