William Hoffer has been spinning out international best-sellers for more than 20 years. He collaborated with Billy Hayes to chronicle the exciting escape from a Turkish prison in Midnight Express, which was later produced into an Academy Award-winning motion picture starring Brad Davis, John Hurt, and Randy Quaid.

William and his wife Marilyn worked with Betty Mahmoody to write Not Without My Daughter, the story of Betty and her daughter’s desperate and dangerous escape from Iran. The book became a stunningly successful international phenomenon, and was produced into a motion picture starring Sally Field and Alfred Molina. William and Marilyn’s Freefall is the nail-biting thriller recounting the near-tragedy of Air Canada Flight 174.
