Lennie McPherson was a standover man who committed more murders than any other major organised figure.

Although not so influential as Fred Anderson, whom he succeeded at the top of the tree, his time at the top, or near to it, occurred a bit later, when organised crime had become far more lucrative, thanks to the drug market.
