Sorcery may concern criminal (10)

I believe the answer is:

necromancy

'sorcery' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'may concern criminal' is the wordplay.
'criminal' indicates an anagram.
'may'+'concern'='mayconcern'
'mayconcern' anagrammed gives 'NECROMANCY'.

(Another definition for necromancy that I've seen is " magic".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
