Quick recap

Murphy calls Harry to see a mob henchman torn apart next to wolf tracks. Harry learns there are four kinds of lupine shapeshifters: werewolves, hexenwolves, loup-garous and lycanthropes. Kim Delaney, whom he had trained, turns up mauled at millionaire Harley MacFinn's place, next to a summoning circle. Harry is arrested, escapes and learns from Tera West, MacFinn's fiancée, that he's a loup-garou. The real culprits are four FBI agents who become hexenwolves and wanted to use MacFinn to kill Marcone. Trapped in a pit at Marcone's estate, three agents kill each other and Murphy kills the fourth. Harry kills MacFinn, and Tera goes home.
