Queries cap to be fixed for novel form (10)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
