Leitch's second novel of 2013, " Seeking Mr Hare", was published in London by The Clerkenwell Press at Profile Books. He stepped off in another new direction with a narrative that carries on from an infamous series of crimes that shocked Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1828. The Burke and Hare murders were committed to sell the bodies of the victims for medical dissection. William Burke and William Hare were Irishmen who discovered the lucrative business of providing cadavers for Edinburgh's thriving business of anatomical lectures, with an eager client in the doctor and lecturer Robert Knox and went on to provide 16 fresh bodies. By turning  King's evidence against Burke and Burke's wife, Hare was promised freedom.
