I believe the answer is:

smell a rat

'suspect trickery' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for smell a rat that I've seen before include "Suspect deception" , "Detect something suspicious" , "Suspect something's amiss" , "Find something fishy" , "Sense something suspicious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
