Ellery Queen's detective novel "The Siamese Twin Mystery" is converted into Persian by Kazem Esmaili.
IBNA: "The Siamese Twin Mystery" is an English language American novel written in 1933 by Ellery Queen. It is the seventh of the Ellery Queen mysteries. 

In this story, Ellery Queen and his father are driving through a mountainous area of the United States on vacation when they are forced by a forest fire to seek shelter in a private home on the top of a mountain. The home soon becomes impossible to escape due to the fire. As the fire creeps towards the top of the mountain, first the doctor and then his brother are murdered. Each victim is found clutching half a playing card, and half of a jack of diamonds seems to indicate that one - but only one - of the Siamese twins is the murderer. 

Ellery and his father investigate the murders and battle the fire at the same time. He performs an extended feat of deduction about the handedness of the murderer based upon the torn playing cards. The solution to the crimes is revealed in a dramatic finish when the flames reach the top of the mountain. 

Ellery Queen is both a fictional character and a pseudonym used by two American cousins from Brooklyn, New York: Daniel Nathan (alias Frederic Dannay) and Manford Emanuel Lepofsky (alias Manfred Bennington Lee). 

The fictional Ellery Queen created by Dannay and Lee is a mystery writer and amateur detective who helps his father, a police inspector in New York City, solve baffling murders. He has been a well-known hero of detective stories in the 30's and 40's, and a few movies and radio/TV programs are made after him. 

"The Siamese Twin Mystery" is converted into Persian by Kazem Esmaili and published by Khojasteh Publicatinos in 352 pages.
