Will suggest strangler with 90 = right angle , but not happy with it .

[quinie]

swannmaker. I think you're spot on. I had thought of strangler but couldn't figure out the 90..It certainly is a devious clue.

[werbone]

Swannbaker, the actual clue has a degree symbol after the 90 which makes it a better clue.

[quinie]

It certainly would have made it easier!
