Fictional detective Nero (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wolfe

'fictional detective nero' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for wolfe that I've seen before include "Tom __, author of The Bonfire of the Vanities" , "General, took Quebec 1759" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
