Death Note: Another Note takes the reader back to an earlier case L had been investigating. Those who worked with him knew he was not the kind of person to give up, and had solved many of the toughest cases around, yet in this one he needed help. This novel is an enthralling and captivating piece of work by Ishin Nishio aka Nisiosin, and translated by Andrew Cunningham, including interior art by well-known Death Note manga artist Takeshi Obata.
