Betrayal of trust, hinted at by the circled letters, which form an apt John le Carré title (6,3)

I believe the answer is:

inside job

(Other definitions for inside job that I've seen before include "that an office worker experiences?" , "criminal activity" , "Crime with collusion" , "crime of disloyalty" , "breach of trust" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
