Death Comes to Los Angeles There's a serial killer loose in Los Angeles and super-sleuth L is on the case. Along with Naomi Misora, a former FBI agent, he helps the LA police solve the grisly crimes. There's a Serial Killer Loose in Los Angeles and the local authorities need help fast. For some reason the killer has been leaving a string of maddeningly arcane clues at each crime scene. Each of these clues, it seems, is an indecipherable roadmap to the next murder. Onto the scene comes L, the mysterious super-sleuth. Despite his peculiar working habits--he's never shown his face in public, for example--he's the most decorated detective in the world and has never tackled a cased he hasn't been able to crack. But this time he needs help. Enlisting the services of an FBI agent named Naomi Misora, L starts snooping around the City of Angels. It soon becomes apparent that the killing spree is a psychotic riddle designed specifically to engage L in a battle of wits. Stuck in the middle between killer and investigator, it's up to Misora to navigate both the dead bodies and the egos to solve the Los Angeles BB Murder Cases.

Sinopsis : Tiga pembunuhan keji terjadi di berbagai wilayah di Los Angeles. Korbannya seorang lelaki, seorang anak-anak, dan seorang perempuan muda. Di setiap tempat kejadian perkara yang terkunci dari dalam ditemukan wara ningyo, boneka jerami Jepang yang biasa dipakai untuk mengutuk seseorang. Polisi dibuat bingung oleh metode pembunuhan yang berbeda-beda, tetapi detektif terhebat abad ini yang tak pernah memperlihatkan diri, L, mulai mengendus motif pelaku. Pertarungan intelegensi antara L dan pelaku pembunuhan berantai di Los Angeles pun dimulai!! “Jika ini dibuat di Amerika, itu akan mengerikan. Sebuah novel prosa spin-off dari manga Death Note tercinta. Tapi, Jepang lebih tahu. Ini adalah novel luar biasa yang dieksekusi dengan sempurna menggunakan media sastra, menciptakan sesuatu yang jauh lebih menarik daripada yang pernah Anda bayangkan. Tidak penting untuk menikmati Death Note, tetapi, itu benar-benar menambah lebih banyak pengalaman.” - Joshua Fialkov (Pembaca Goodreads) “Wow, it exceeded all my expectations. It had a lot darker, more serious feel to it than the manga series that it's based off of, but I really liked that about it. Beyond Birthday was brilliant and twisted which made for some pretty unsettling descriptions of his murders. Super fun to read. I recommend it to hard-core Death Note fans. Or anyone who likes crime novels because I believe you could read it without reading Death Note and still love it.” - Amber Hetchler (Pembaca Goodreads)

It was two years ago that I met Y-ko. She was my boss at the job I was working at the time. I was a student, and I had no idea what I was doing. After a time, we ended up becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. It turned out she was a "fujoshi." Not only that, but a "hidden fujoshi," one who didn't show any inkling of the sort around other people... But as a general rule, she never hides it around me. In fact... It seems more like she's intent on dragging me down that path with her. ...And I'll be honest. It's slowly but surely seeping into me.
