Publisher Description
Special Agent Dagny Gray is smart, athletic, and fearless. She’s also fragile, depressed, and anorexic. If she doesn’t get healthy soon, the FBI will drop her—and she’ll never have a chance to end the crime spree of the so-called “bubble gum thief.”
It all started with the theft of a pack of gum, and the ominous note he left behind: THIS IS MY FIRST CRIME. MY NEXT WILL BE BIGGER. Every two weeks, he delivers on this pledge, committing a bigger crime, and promising that the next will be even worse. When petty theft gives way to bloody murder, the stakes become clear. He may have begun with the smallest crime possible, but he’s building toward the biggest crime imaginable.
There’s a method to the gum thief’s madness, and Special Agent Dagny Gray knows she can figure it out…if the Bureau will let her. But will it be in time to prevent the cataclysmic finale of his escalating spree?

"I picked this up one evening, stopped to sleep, and finished it by the next evening. It's been a while since I've done that with a book. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Miller's characters as they raced to solve the crime. He even fleshed out the victims' lives more than one normally reads, humanizing them more than one usually experiences in this genre. I often flipped back to find details that he referenced later in the book, and enjoyed finding the clues he planted throughout as I compared my own theories to Dagny Gray's. Really enjoyable!"

" An unexpected pleasure to read. We'll see if the sequel is as good. "

" The Bubble Gum Thief is a well written engaging book by a new author. I was hooked from the very first chapter. It is well written and the details make this mystery very believable. I am hoping that there will be more Dagny Gray thrillers in the future. "

" I finished reading my copy last night. Jeff has put together a great read. If I didn't know better, I would never have guessed it was his first book. His characters are fantastic and the story line compelling. I had trouble putting it down and stayed up way too late two nights running reading it. I was really sad when the book was done because I just didn't want to stop reading it yet again. The really hard part is going to be waiting for his next book to come out. "

" This is Jeff Miller's first crime novel. His next will be bigger. The premise is intriguing, Dagny Gray is fresh and smart, the technical investigation is well researched, and the plot fits together like a magic cube. Highly recommended! "

" Okay crime thriller - too many cliches for it to be good. Nicely paced, decent enough characterisation with a good premise for an unusual story. An easy, unchallenging read. "
