A bit of a long shot:
66: The Sinister Shadow?

Sorry, I intended to put those in 'white' ... Hides head in shame

Sorry to drag this mouldy old game out of the cupboard, but I'm stuck on 3 clues in today's Grauniad and may go insane if I don't at least air them. It's by Bunthorne, in case anyone knows the setters well enough for that information to help (I don't, though I know I like some better than others).

27 Across: Backhanders part of this player's service? (9) S _ * _ * _ E _ R
23 Down: The pen of Zeus? (4) _ E _ *
24 Down: She's between borrower and lender (4) _ O _ *

(The asterisks mark the points of intersection, in case that's not totally obvious.)

"NORA"? As in neither a borrower nor a lender be?

I was thinking of "AURA" (Zeus turned her into a fountain) but apart from being somewhat of a stretch it would muck up your 'E'.
