Surrounding environment different: dangerous environment, vice pastoral. The works were all published in English: there were no French-Canadian novels published during the period which featured a mounted policeman as a hero. There were differences, however, in how United States, British and Canadian authors portrayed the NWMP in their works. British novels about the NWMP, for example, focused on the role of the mounted police as colonial soldiers, with the stories emphasising the upper class backgrounds of the protagonists, and their moral duty in serving the British Empire on the fringes of civilisation.

Vic Hall's first book, Bad Medicine, published in 1947, tells the tale of a manhunt for an Aboriginal killer in the Northern Territory. Based on his own experience as a policeman, it takes a sensitive but unbiased look at black/white relations at the same time as telling a dramatic story. Against the background of the Caledon Bay crisis, Dreamtime Justice recounts the story of the hunt for the killers of an N.T. Mounted Policeman, Constable Albert Stewart McColl. Hall was one of the four policemen who set off in search of the killers, in company with black trackers.

During the 1930s and 1940s, the NWMP became the topic of radio broadcasts and films. Radio series such as the Renfrew of the Mounted and Challenge of the Yukon continued the portrayal of the mounted police as iconic heroes, the latter series translating to television as Sergeant Preston of the Yukon in the 1950s. Over 250 films were made about the NWMP in the 20th century, including Rose Marie.; The popularity of these finally waned in the 1970s, although this image of the NWMP has influenced late 20th century television portrayals of the modern RCMP, such as the Due South series depicted a mounted policeman from the Yukon.

In the build-up to the Epsom Classic there were rumours of plans to prevent the horse from running and he was subject to strict security, appearing in the paddock before the race surrounded by guards and preceded by a mounted policeman. His owner was not among the huge crowd, having been forbidden from attending by his doctors who feared that the excitement of seeing his colt run could prove fatal. Orwell started the 5/4 favourite for the race in a field of twenty-one runners. Jones produced him with a run on the outside in the straight but he quickly came under pressure and weakened to finish ninth behind April the Fifth.

However, Trendle's criticism of Dougall may have had another reason behind it. Shortly before the two Trendle series aired (Lone Ranger and Challenge of the Yukon), popular author Zane Grey had a book in circulation (The Lone Star Ranger) about a Texas Ranger like the Lone Ranger and a comic book series in circulation (King of the Royal Mounted) about the adventures of Sgt. King, a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman like Sgt. Preston. From 1922 a series of novels by Laurie York Erskine featuring Renfrew of the Royal Mounted warranted enough popularity to begin a radio series of the same title in 1936 and a film series beginning in 1937; the latter featuring a canine sidekick.

Thornton Utz illustrated "Bullet for One" for The American Magazine (July 1948) Wolfe and Archie investigate the week-old murder of industrial designer Sigmund Keyes at the request of five people who worked closely with him: Ferdinand Pohl, Frank Broadyke, Wayne Safford, Audrey Rooney, and Keyes' daughter Dorothy. They believe that Victor Talbott, his sales agent, committed the murder, and want the truth to come out so that the police will stop harassing them. Keyes had frequently gone horseback riding in a local park during the early morning, and Talbott sometimes accompanied him. On the day of Keyes' death, a mounted policeman had seen him on his usual path; not long afterward, the horse emerged from the park with no rider.

Before the race he became highly agitated and delayed the start by "rampaging about" and refusing to line up with the others. He started badly then rushed up to join the leaders after four furlongs before dropping away quickly and finishing ninth behind Grand Parade. There was some speculation that the colt had been upset by the huge crowd on his first race away from Newmarket, while according to Cooper the colt "never promised to do anything" after the first half mile. A later explanation was that The Panther was distracted by the presence in the pre- race parade of a mounted policeman riding a mare which was described as being "in a condition to upset any stallion" (in season).

Portrayed by Stephen McHattie, he is the father of Detective William Murdoch. When Murdoch meets his father for the first time after a long estrangement (episode: 1.06 - Let Loose The Dogs), for most of the case, he believes his father to be a killer and primary suspect based on his own prejudice that Harry had indirectly caused his mother's death by hitting her; after his innocence was proven, at William's request his father tells him that, as flawed and a drunk as he may have been, he never hit either his mother or him. Harry leaves Toronto, telling his son that he has plans to settle in the West. Murdoch later goes to British Columbia to investigate a case with a fellow Mounted Policeman (episode: 2.13 - Anything I Can Do), where he meets up with his father.

He breaks up the fight and throws Talbott out. None of the six has an airtight alibi, and all will benefit from Keyes' death in various ways. Dorothy stands to inherit his business and no longer has to deal with his objection to her romantic relationship with Talbott; Pohl was unhappy with the return on his investment in Keyes' business; Broadyke, one of Keyes' professional rivals, was being sued by Keyes for using stolen designs; Audrey, Talbott's secretary, had been accused by Keyes of being Broadyke's accomplice in the theft; and Safford, a stable hand at the riding academy where Keyes kept his horse, had gotten into a fistfight with him over his treatment of Audrey. Wolfe brings Saul Panzer and Orrie Cather in on the case and sends Archie to meet with Officer Hefferan, the mounted policeman who saw Keyes on the path.
