Girl in Berlin the Artful Dodger? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evader

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'artful dodger?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'girl in berlin' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'Eva' (girl's name).
'in berlin' becomes 'der' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'eva'+'der'='EVADER'

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for evader that I've seen before include "One escaping by guile" , "Dodger" , "Person who avoids" , "One avoids or circumvents" , "One who avoids tax" .)
