The following novels (and one short story) were ghost-written by other authors (listed in brackets), but based on Queen's ideas and extensively revised and edited by the Queen cousins afterwards:
THE PLAYER ON THE OTHER SIDE (Theodore Sturgeon)
…AND ON THE EIGHTH DAY (Avram Davidson)
THE FOURTH SIDE OF THE TRIANGLE (Avram Davidson)
THE HOUSE OF BRASS (Theodore Sturgeon)
The reindeer clue (Edward D. Hoch)

A STUDY IN TERROR is a little different insofar as the Ellery Queen bits were written by Queen, while the Sherlock Holmes story was written by Paul W. Fairman.
