Pan Macmillan We publish a broad and vibrant range of books for audiences of all ages. G. Wells. B. P. Snow and Rumer Godden.

Macmillan was founded in 1843 by Daniel and Alexander Macmillan, two brothers from the Scottish Isle of Arran. Daniel was the business brain, while Alexander laid the literary foundations, publishing such great authors as Charles Kingsley, Thomas Hughes, Lewis Carroll, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Henry James, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling and H. As the company evolved, the Macmillan family's vision cont

inued to inspire the publishing of major writers including W. Yeats, Sean O'Casey, John Maynard Keynes, Charles Morgan, Hugh Walpole, Margaret Mitchell, C. The brothers' publishing talents were not confined to literature. Their vision led to the creation of enduring copyrights such as Nature (1869), the renowned Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (1877) and Palgrave's Dictionary of Political Economy (1899). An ambitious expansion programme was initiated in the late 1960s when Harold Macmillan retired from politics after his term as prime minister and became chairman of the company. Serious academic, educational and literary publishing was followed by significant growth in reference programmes and college textbooks as well as educational and scientific journals. New international opportunities were grasped and publishing operations were set up in Japan, Mexico and the emerging markets of Africa and Asia. Nowadays Macmillan is one of the largest and best-known international publishers in the world, operating in over 70 countries.

We're thrilled to reveal the cover of Jane Harper’s new novel, Last One Out.

Sam Crowley vanished five years ago on his twenty-first birthday. The mystery of what happened that day sent tremors through the local community, casting suspicion on its residents and breaking apart his family.

Now, on the anniversary of his disappearance, his mother Ro has returned for a memorial to remember her son. What she finds is a ghost town whose local residents have been forced out by the nearby coal mine that keeps expanding. But the pain of seeing her devastated former home is nothing compared to the torment of never finding out what happened to her son.

As Ro revisits Sam’s notes that he left behind – a map of unanswered questions and suspicions – she begins to peel back the layers of a town that guards its secrets fiercely. Someone knows what happened to Sam, and it’s time for the truth to come out . . .
