Misplaced Pages

Fettered by Fate is a mystery novel by Australian sporting novelist Arthur Wright, a murder story with a horse-racing backdrop, published in 1921.

Reception

According 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."
