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?]]>

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?]]>

    <body><![CDATA[A satisfying and just ending to a superb series. <br/><br/>Having said that, I almost wish it had wrapped up 5 books ago, as the formulas I found so unique and riveting at the beginning of the series got a little tedious in the later half of the books. Best manga I've read to date though.]]></body>
