Illegal cooperation (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

collusion

(Other definitions for collusion that I've seen before include "Complicity between people for deceitful purpose" , "Illegal co-operation for criminal purposes" , "Secret or illegal conspiracy to deceive" , "Secret deception" , "Connivance" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
