Suspect foul play (5,1,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smell a rat

'suspect foul play' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for smell a rat that I've seen before include "Become suspicious" , "Sense something is amiss" , "Sense something suspicious" , "Have suspicion something is afoot" , "Suspect something's amiss" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
