With "A" this has an abrupt start, but it depends on the context. I would say: This is a thriller in which a female journalist investigates a string of murders near the American-owned factories on the Juarez/El Paso border.

Hi,

There's no main verb. If you remove the subordinate clause, what you have left is

A thriller.

That's not a sentence.

Best wishes, Clive
