The Siamese Twin Mystery (American Mystery Classics) by Ellery Queen
When Ellery Queen and his father encounter a raging forest fire during a mountain drive, the only direction is up a dirt road to an isolated hillside manor, inhabited by a secretive surgeon and his strange guests. Then, the doctor is discovered dead the next day, apparently shot while playing solitaire during the night. The only clue is a torn card; the suspects include a society beauty, a valet, and a pair of conjoined twins. When another murder follows, the killer inside the house becomes as threatening as the flames outside its walls -- but can Queen solve this whodunnit before the fire devours its subjects?
Featuring bizarre circumstances, an eerie atmosphere, and a dazzling solution, The Siamese Twin Mystery is a fair play mystery in which the reader has all the necessary information needed to solve the puzzle. The seventh Ellery Queen novel (which can be enjoyed in any order) finds the legendary sleuth facing one of the most memorable cases of his career.
Ellery Queen was a pen name created and shared by two cousins, Frederick Dannay (1905 - 1982) and Manfred B. Lee (1905 - 1971), as well as the name of their most famous detective. The duo spent forty-two years writing the greatest puzzle mysteries of their time, gaining them a reputation as the foremost American authors of the Golden Age "fair play" mystery.
