Fettered by FateFettered by Fate is a mystery novel by Australian sporting novelist Arthur Wright, a murder story with a horse-racing backdrop, published in 1921.ReceptionAccording to The Queenslander "it is one of the best of Arthur Wright's books, and though Mr. Wright runs dangerously close to an anachronism in associating a survivor of a bushranging gang with modern motor cars that will not concern the reader who is looking for excitement." Another reviewer said "in its 22 chapters there is not a dull moment for the story moves rapidly and each page is crowned with incident."
