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?
After a high-speed chase, Light and the task force apprehend the newest
Kira. Light regains his Death Note and his memories, and the depths of
his cunning are revealed as the plans he carefully put in place before
going into confinement are slowly unveiled. His masterful manipulation
of both humans and Shinigami lead him to the strongest position he's yet
enjoyed. But the glow of his victory is marred when a new threat
appears. Can Light withstand a surprise attack on two fronts?
