Synopsis
In The Host of Casa Diablo, George Valentine is approached with a high-stakes task: to bring Earl Bixby back from Mexico to testify against corrupt officials involved in a municipal graft case that has lingered for years. Bixby, once a star witness, fled to Mexico fifteen years ago, but now he is ready to return, motivated by a substantial reward and perhaps a desire to escape his self-imposed exile. However, George quickly realizes that Bixby's return is not just a simple matter of logistics; powerful forces are determined to keep him silent.
