Death Note, Vol. 3

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 is chafing under L's extreme surveillance, but even 64 microphones and cameras hidden in his room aren't enough to stop Light. He steps up the game, but before the battle of wits can really begin, a family emergency distracts him. But even though Light isn't using the Death Note right now, someone else is! Who's the new "Kira" in town?

The heat is on. (Now you're singing that song in your head, aren't you? lol)

Our task force, headed by L, has really applied the pressure to the net closing in around Light. Surveillance has been put in to the homes of the families that were being followed by the FBI agent who started the ripple effect that caused all the deaths of the agents. One of those families happens to be Light's. Light puts Ryuk to work locating the cameras and discovers there are 64 cameras in his bedroom alone!

Both Light and L are under intense pressure to uncover the other's identity when a curve ball is thrown.

Heart attacks are happening that Light isn't causing due to being watched. Which begs the question, whose DeathNote is it?!

THIS STORY HAS GOTTEN SO GOOD! Even though Ryuk and Light have not discussed them all, I notice more rules are given regarding the DeathNote at the end of each chapter. Things might be getting sticky for Light - it doesn't help the Ryuk is now into making "deals" with Light for Shinigami abilities...deals that will take away years from Light's life span...WILL HE CAVE IN?!!!!!!
