3 letter word to steal, biblical books and the inside of sick

thanks again, both

Re 6D, it was only after Jono confirmed I'd finally got it right and I'd thought about it over breakfast that I fully twigged how the clue worked. Now I'm planning to get a life! :-)

Think Philby...

A really good one I thought this week. Thanks for all explanations about 6d and 26a which I get now.

Been out on the bike to blow out the cobwebs and half way round I properly got 6d, exactly from “Our Man in Havana” as mentioned on here since my last befuddled post.

The answer as a direct rework of “Third Man” is pretty clever. Kicking myself for not spotting it sooner, especially as I’m re-reading Smiley’s People at the moment.

CoD 18 a surely? I now come to this forum when I’ve finished the crossword (so I’m always last) but I enjoy seeing how differently we see the same puzzles. 4d was a hard one but then the rest fell into place. 1d one of the last to get; I had the word but it was a while before I could parse it. 😊

Phil10000 re 20d.
Chess notation will give you the abbreviation.

Morning all. I’m struggling with last 2 in the SE corner today.
23a d_a_ _ I’m guessing it’s D followed by a ceremonial dance, def is ‘somewhere in Asia’?
20d I may have an answer meaning uneven but I can’t parse it. Any help greatly appreciated
