**Jane Doe Publishes New Thriller 'Shadows of Eternity'**  

*Former journalist's debut novel hits shelves amid rising demand for suspense fiction.*  

NEW YORK -- Author Jane Doe released her debut thriller "Shadows of Eternity" on Tuesday, distributed by HarperCollins nationwide. The book, set in a crumbling Midwestern town, draws from Doe's reporting background to examine corruption and family secrets. It arrives as U.S. thriller sales rose 12% last year, per Nielsen BookScan.  

The 320-page novel follows a detective uncovering a decades-old conspiracy. Doe, 42, spent five years researching real cold cases for authenticity. Industry analysts note its timely themes resonate with readers post-pandemic.  

"Reporting taught me how buried truths fester, and that's the heart of this story—it's not just plot, it's what happens when no one speaks up," said Doe, reached at her Chicago home.  

Early orders topped 15,000 copies through independent bookstores and Amazon. The title earned a starred review from Publishers Weekly, praising its "taut pacing." Doe appears at the Chicago Tribune Festival of Books on Oct. 20.  

The hardcover retails for $28 and is available at major retailers, including Barnes & Noble and online via HarperCollins.com. An audiobook narrated by Doe follows Nov. 1.
