In the 12th V. I. Warshawksi mystery, the private detective returns to her old South Chicago neighborhood, a visit littered with unpleasant memories, plus present-day sabotage, murder, and disappearing teenagers. After her former high-school basketball coach becomes ill with cancer, V. I. agrees to volunteer-coach the girls` team. An attempt to drum up corporate support for the team from local high-school alum Buffalo Bill Bysen, the elderly CEO of the By-Smart big-box discount store, proves a dismal failure; ironically, the Bysen family ends up appealing to V. I. instead when Bysen`s great-grandson Billy and one of the basketball team members run off together.

Like most of Kem Nunn's novels, surfing is part of the atmosphere of TIJUANA STRAITS. His hero Sam Fahey's background includes surfing, among other things (some much less savory), and the novel is set in Southern California. The story begins with a Mexican activist named Magdalena, who has been beaten nearly to death for her efforts on behalf of the environment. Fahey rescues her from her tormentors, and begins a long cycle of redemptive behavior that will culminate in a series of scenes that lend the novel the label literary thriller.
