Intro. L. Lawliet — the world's most brilliant and mysterious detective — is a shadow among shadows. His real name is known only to a few, and his face to almost no one. In the world of international crime, his initial alone — "L" — is enough to instill respect, fear and curiosity. From the depths of anonymity, he has solved the most impossible cases: trafficking networks, political assassinations, conspiracies that defied all logic. But his greatest challenge came with the Kira case: a murderer who kills without touching, without leaving a trace, with the power of a god and the mind of a strategist.
In front of Kira, L found his mirror: another prodigious, cold and calculating mind. And in that deadly game between justice and morality, between reason and faith, L chose to be the most dangerous piece on the board: the player who risks his life for the truth.
