Halle Berry makes brief comeback in Maverick (5)
I believe the answer is:
rebel
'maverick' is the definition.
(I know that maverick can be written as rebel)
'halle berry makes brief comeback' is the wordplay.
'REBEL' is hidden backwards in amongst the letters.
However, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rebel that I've seen before include "One rising in opposition" , "Mutineer or dissenter" , "Insurgent, renegade" , "Rise up - dissent" , "One who opposes the powerful" .)
