Involve troublemaker and Queen perhaps in story (9)
I believe the answer is:
implicate
'involve' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'troublemaker and queen perhaps in story' is the wordplay.
'troublemaker' becomes 'imp' (little devil).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'queen perhaps' becomes 'cat' (a female cat is a queen).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'story' becomes 'lie' (story can mean a fabrication).
'cat' inserted inside 'lie' is 'licate'.
'imp'+'licate'='IMPLICATE'
(Other definitions for implicate that I've seen before include "Suggest someone else is involved in your crime" , "Involve in a crime, ensnare" , "Involve in a crime, give evidence accordingly" , "Suggest someone is involved or took part in a crime" , "Point finger at criminal" .)
