End in story told (4)
I believe the answer is:
tail
'end' is the definition.
(I know that tail is a type of end)
'story told' is the wordplay.
'story' becomes 'tale' (synonyms).
'told' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'tale' sounds like 'TAIL'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for tail that I've seen before include "Private investigator" , "Follow - rear part of aeroplane" , "Elongated appendage of an animal" , "Follow - dog" , "private eye" .)
