Cliche from detective stories. Can't explain it though (see previous threads on significance of Willies)

Still struggling. For 9ac I have -L-C-E-S for the last word. Have I made a mistake that's holding me up?

I had exactly that hitch too - it's not "salmon" (i.e. the "l" is wrong.

Thanks ChrisE. I did wonder about the L. Yes, I did have salmon but felt it was not very cryptic at the time.
