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 tests the boundaries of the "Death Note"s powers as L and the police begin to close in. Luckily Lights father is the head of the Japanese National Police Agency and leaves vital information about the case lying around the house. With access to his fathers files, Light can keep one step ahead of the authorities. But who is the strange man following him, and how can Light guard against enemies whose names he doesnt know?
