I would be surprised if Chandler turns out to be the bad guy.

Dunno: Jim seems awfully fond of the posh British accent = bad guy trope!

Yeah, or is it because that's the easiest to write? As far as the Corner Hounds go, Justine was inhabited by a Walker, so it may not be a huge mystery after all as to who called up the hounds..

I don't think it works that way.
Outsider-summoning needs mortal free will; being possessed by a Walker and made to perform a ritual is pretty much the opposite of that.

You're are right, here is a little tin hat zinger maybe, who are the people in Justine's circle friends? It is possible from her job at Casa Raith that she might have hooked up with occult types who unwittingly were used by her? Or at least didn't understand the ramifications of what they were doing. If I remember correctly from Blood Rites, of the three women who called up the Outsider, only Madge [I believe that was her name] understood what they were really doing. What happened here may have been a variation of that.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Cowl has controlled at least three sorcerers in the Files in Chicago alone. The surviving one who abducted the pups summoned up giant monkeys throwing flaming poop, so Cowl has at least one human mortal Sorceror on speed dial who is good at summoning and has likely been polished by him for exactly this type of task. Yet another reason to consider Nameless (a scion) is Cowl. He has been training black magic practitioners in Chicago for years whilst Nameless has been practicing law in the same city.
