    Summary

    At twenty-two, Maya Saitō never intended for her academic work to be noticed, especially not by the kind of people who don’t sign their emails.

    Quietly recruited into the Kira investigation, she becomes a calculated risk: brilliant, untested, and dangerously perceptive. Assigned to work alongside L, the world’s greatest detective and its most difficult collaborator, what begins as professional friction sharpens into competition, and then into something far more destabilizing.

    As the investigation closes in on Kira, manipulation festers in the background and every deduction carries consequences. In a case where certainty is survival, desire becomes a liability, and falling in love may be the most unacceptable margin of error of all.
