Perspiring right behind the quarry? (3,2,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
hot on the trail
'perspiring right behind' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'the quarry?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'the' is 'het' which is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
