The FBI agent's again turned in the Europeans (7)
I believe the answer is:
germans
'europeans' is the definition.
(German is an example)
'the fbi agent's again turned in' is the wordplay.
'the fbi agent's' becomes 'Gmans' ('G-man' can be a synonym of 'fbi agent').
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'turned' is a reversal indicator.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
're' back-to-front is 'er'.
'gmans' placed around 'er' is 'GERMANS'.
'the' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
