The —, 1999 novel by Sandra Brown (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alibi

(Other definitions for alibi that I've seen before include "Proof of not being at the scene of the crime" , "Defence of being elsewhere at time of crime" , "Defence against charge - was seen elsewhere" , "Justification" , "Answer to charge - was somewhere else" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
