In the stories featuring Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, the Daily Leader is a newspaper.
- Finessing the King/The Gentleman Dressed in Newspaper - After reading an advert in the personal column, Tuppence Beresford insists that Tommy and she go to the Ace of Spades nightclub. Later Tommy noticed that the black letters which formed the title "Daily Leader" in the masthead contained a series of one or more small white dots in them. These white dots were in different letters every day. Tommy told Tuppence that this was apparently a feature common to all newspapers.
- The Sunningdale Mystery - The Daily Leader features a portrait of Captain Sessle.
