Inner circle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cabal

'inner circle' is the definition.
(cabal is a kind of inner circle)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for cabal that I've seen before include "secret council" , "Plotting group" , "Small group involved with intrigue" , "Secret political group" , "Group of political intriguers" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Sunday Times.
