It's fire season in Montana . . .A disillusioned litigator forges a new life in Big Sky Country and stumbles onto the toughest case of his career in this electrifying thriller from New York Times bestselling author Stephen Frey.
When lawyer Hunter Lee decides to turn his back on the New York City rat race that has made him rich but cost him his marriage, he escapes to beautiful but isolated Fort Mason, Montana. He befriends a Fire Jumper--one of an elite corps of firefighters--and gets a terrifying firsthand look at vast tracts of forest being reduced to ash in seconds. In this tiny town where everyone seems to have a secret, Hunter suspects these fires are anything but accidental. As he follows his instincts, Montana becomes a crucible where good and evil collide--and where one man, running from his past, must expose the guilty before he's sacrificed to the inferno.

Freyreview:
Enjoyed the book, although it's a little depressing. A little different for Stephen Frey but worth reading.
Don't waste your time.:
When you start this book, also start a diagram of the character connections, because there are too many to keep track of otherwise. Then the whole book seems to end in a few pages, and you won't know what happened to everyone. Also, the fire-fighting seemed ridiculous. Every time they fought a fire, they were surprised that it spread, and killed or nearly killed. For all his smarts, the lead fire-fighter never puts out a fire.
A fun tale:
Not the best book I have ever read but it held my interest. It is written as a 'who dun it' and lines the cast of characters up nicely. There are really no surprises, a little light sex, and some detail on firefighting. I would not buy another book by this author.
Disappointing... not up to Frey standards:
Wow, what a disappointment. I've read several of Frey's books, and enjoyed each of them. It's not that Hell's Gate was not AS good as his past novels.... it's simply bad by any standard.
