Looking ahead to 2026 in my Jake Jackson books. We have The Burial Place out in paperback in February; A Twist in the River out in April. Plus, I am finishing the final edit of the fifth in the series (a Victorian cold case, provisionally called The Angel Maker), out in 2027.

Nazi salutes while protecting a statue of Churchill takes some galactic level of stupidity.

Putin’s main achievement in the last 48 hours is making President Zelensky a global hero. His quote to Americans offering to evacuate him “I need ammunition, not a ride”.

My wife just went to the supermarket. They were letting ten in, ten out. Everybody queued politely and 2 metres apart. When she got in, the shelves were full. Everyone was polite. We can do this.

We can all pretend Trump and Vance are some sort of inspired geniuses. Or we can see two soft bullies haranguing a man who has been fighting a war to save his country for three years.

I cannot get over the fact that Chadwick Boseman was diagnosed with Stage Three cancer, and then made Civil War, Marshall, Black Panther, Infinity War, Endgame, 21 Bridges and Da 5 Bloods. All the while not mentioning it in public, and inspiring all those people. Extraordinary.
