Crossword Genius

Bond's got no alibi, unfortunately (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obligation

'bond's' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'got no alibi unfortunately' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates anagramming the letters.
'got'+'no'+'alibi'='gotnoalibi'
'gotnoalibi' with letters rearranged gives 'OBLIGATION'.

(Another definition for obligation that I've seen is " Duty".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
