Singer paid thief, when compromised (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
edith piaf
'singer' is the definition.
(I know that Edith Piaf is a singer)
'paid thief when compromised' is the wordplay.
'paid thief' can be anagrammed to 'EDITH PIAF'.
Though, I am not clear how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for edith piaf that I've seen is " Taped hi-fi with great French singer called the Little Sparrow".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
