Leitch’s fiction career began with Catch in 2005, a novel about small-town life and baseball. How Lucky (2021) was his breakout, a thriller told by a narrator with spinal muscular atrophy who sees something he should not have. The book was praised for its pacing and for treating its disabled protagonist as a full, complex character rather than an object of pity.
The Time Has Come (2023) and Lloyd McNeil’s Last Ride (2025) continued his move into literary fiction. Leitch brings the same observational skill from his journalism to his novels, writing characters who feel grounded in specific places and communities.
