Blatant lie (7)
I believe the answer is:
whopper
'blatant lie' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for whopper that I've seen before include "Blatant lie" , "A great big lie - or fish" , "Huge one; lie" , "Enormous lie" , "that 13 [TRUTH SERUM] might detect?" .)
