Her Name Was Emily

By Joseph Finnegan

HER NAME WAS EMILY is a three story collection written by author Joseph Finnegan during his time at Full Sail University.

The titular story focuses on a vengeance driven father. When we meet the man, he's already zeroed in on the two fraternity members who violated and murdered his daughter.

The next entry in the collection, “Break the Cycle,” tells of a toxic couple who take their dysfunction out on their son.

The final story in HER NAME WAS EMILY is “Painted Into a Corner,” featuring private detective Nick Crane, who gets pulled into a dangerous case by his manipulative mentor Jack.
