The Demise of Bobby Mac 
Can a person change his life without affecting the lives of others?  In an attempt to make a new life for himself, ex-con Rob McGruder plans and executes a crime in Tulsa that could end in the death of a woman.
 
Review by POSH New Mexico magazine:  “The Demise of Bobby Mac by New Mexico author Barbara Leachman begins with a horrific crime when bad boy Rob McGruder breaks into the home where Paige Lewis is housesitting.  The confrontation and outcome are riveting before the story diverges to their separate lives after that night.  To tell much more would be to give away the ending of this roller coaster of a story that’s sure to keep you turning pages long into the night.”
