Queries cap to be fixed for novel form (10)
I believe the answer is:
picaresque
'novel form' is the definition.
(style of novel)
'queries cap to be fixed' is the wordplay.
'to be fixed' indicates an anagram.
'queries'+'cap'='queriescap'
'queriescap' is an anagram of 'PICARESQUE'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for picaresque that I've seen before include "about roguish traveller" , "fiction" , "describing roguish novel" , "dealing with exploits of rogues" , "Involving roguish adventures" .)
