Fiery crime (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arson

'fiery crime' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for arson that I've seen before include "Crime of fire raising" , "Fire-lighting crime" , "Incendiary act" , "major crime" , "A burning crime" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate and the Universal.
