Hairpin Bridge: A Novel
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
From the author of the "full-throttle thriller" (A. J. Finn) No Exit—a riveting new psychological page-turner featuring a fierce and unforgettable heroine.
Three months ago, Lena Nguyen's estranged twin sister, Cambry, drove to a remote bridge seventy miles outside of Missoula, Montana, and jumped two hundred feet to her death. At least, that is the official police version.
But Lena isn't buying it.
Now she's come to that very bridge, driving her dead twin's car and armed with a cassette recorder, determined to find out what really happened by interviewing the highway patrolman who allegedly discovered her sister's body.
Corporal Raymond Raycevic has agreed to meet Lena at the scene. He is sympathetic, forthright, and professional. But his story still seems a bit off. For one thing, he stopped Cambry for speeding just an hour before she supposedly leaped to her death. Then there are the sixteen attempted 911 calls from her cell phone, made in what was unfortunately a dead zone.
But perhaps most troubling of all, the state trooper is referred to by name in Cambry's final enigmatic text to her sister: Please Forgive Me. Lena will do anything to uncover the truth. But as her twin's final hours come into focus, Lena's search turns into a harrowing tooth-and-nail fight for her own survival—one that will test everything she thought she knew about her sister and herself...

Starred review from April 26, 2021
Adams follows his debut, 2019’s No Exit, with another dazzling thriller. Cambry Nguyen, 24, was wrapping up a yearlong odyssey across America when highway patrolman Raymond Raycevic found her dead beneath Hairpin Bridge, a derelict structure off a now-closed road 60 miles from Missoula, Mont. Unconvinced by the verdict of suicide, Cambry’s identical twin, Lena, drives from her home in Seattle to Montana. Raycevic reluctantly leads Lena to the bridge and begins to answer her increasingly pointed questions. Was it coincidence that Raycevic pulled Cambry over for speeding only an hour before her death? Why did her last text to Lena read “Please Forgive Me. I couldn’t live with it. Hopefully you can, Officer Raycevic?” Though Lena, who believes Raycevic murdered her sister, tells Raycevic that she wants revenge as well as answers, he assumes the small minimum-wage electronics store worker poses little threat. Instead, she’s a superb marksman prepared for every eventuality. Skillfully entwined third-person narrative, posts from Lena’s blog, and passages from the book she’s writing about Cambry reveal the sisters’ past and Cambry’s final hours. Adams is a writer to watch. Agent: David Hale Smith, InkWell Management.

In When Justice Sleeps, Abrams takes a break from her considerable political responsibilities to craft a legal thriller featuring Avery Keene, who clerks for Supreme Court Justice Wynn and takes over the background investigation of a key case when he falls into a coma. In Hairpin Bridge, Adams's No Exit follow-up, Lena Nguyen doesn't believe that estranged twin sister Cambry committed suicide; otherwise, she likely wouldn't have called 911 16 times before her death (100,000-copy first printing). In Hummel's Lesson in Red, follow-up to the Reese's Book Club x Hello Sunshine pick Still Lives, Maggie Richter faces another artworld mystery. In Edgar-nominated, New York Times best-selling author McCreight's Friends Like These, a bachelor party in the Catskills is a cover for a staged intervention to help one of the guests, but someone ends up dead (75,000-copy first printing). Abducted from her found-religion parents' isolated Arkansas homestead and returned unharmed yet still treated as damaged, teenage Sarabeth gladly makes her exit, but in International Thriller Writer Award winner McHugh's What's Done in Darkness, she gets called back five years later to help with a copycat crime. Following Mangin's nationally best-selling Tangerine, Palace of the Drowned stars flailing British novelist Frankie Croy, who is staying in a friend's vacant Venice palazzo in 1966 while struggling to regain her early writing promise and doesn't quite trust a fan who comes her way (200,000-copy first printing). Having had a huge international best seller with The Silent Patient, Michaelides aims for another winner in his Untitled new work (one-million-copy first printing). Following the New York Times best-selling, Reese Witherspoon-optioned Something in the Water, Steadman returns with The Disappearing Act, about a British actress who realizes that she's the only witness to the disappearance of a woman she auditioned with during Hollywood's harried pilot season.

Adams' gripping psychological thriller is haunting, disturbing, stomach-churning, and violent. Cambry Nguyen's loved ones are devastated when they learn she has killed herself by jumping off a deserted bridge in the middle of nowhere, far from home. They can't reconcile the rebellious, free-spirited young woman who lived life on her own terms with someone who would commit suicide. Her identical twin, Lena, refuses to believe that Cambry killed herself and travels to rural Montana, where Cambry died, to meet the cop who found her body, hoping he can shed light on what led her sister to such a dark end. As layer after layer of this stunningly crafted story are peeled back, readers will be shocked by the devastating twists. No one is what they seem; what appears to be true is often false. This is a strange and powerful tale of justice, mercy, revenge, and regret, with a dramatic and unexpected ending. A must-read for genre fans and those looking for a unique, if troubling, read.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

- content: Listeners follow the journey of Lena Nguyen as she sets out to uncover what was behind the death of her estranged twin sister, Cambry, by retracing her last steps. The two narrators, LuLu Lam and Sophie Amoss, help to emphasize the mystery's multiple points of view. The story is told by the twins, Lena's blog, and Patrolman Raycevic, who witnessed Cambry's death. Lam narrates Cambry's story and delivers Lena's blog posts; Amoss narrates Lena's chapters and the omniscient chapters. Both narrators are equally skilled at building tension as the plot unfolds and nothing is quite as it seems. The narrators are well matched, and their dual narration creates a cohesive listen.
