Merciless By Richard Montanari The Day Will Come By Judy Clemens Poisoned Pen Press / 234 pages / $24.95 Stella Crown is not your typical farming lass - not when she owns a Harley and goes to see rock music as often as she can. The latter interest forms the backbone of her fourth appearance, equal parts traditional mystery and nuanced portrayal of the power of love and friendship to elevate and destroy. Stella drives into Philadelphia to catch the appearance of the Tom Copper Band and spend time with her friends Lucy and Lenny, due to be married the following week.

WASHINGTON -- Her face is an almost fifty-fifty blend of her father's kewpie-like mug and her mother's earthy tones.But her sequined, snakeskin-print cummerbund is 100 percent Stella McCartney.At a fashion show Wednesday at the National Museum for Women in the Arts, she enthusiastically slung an arm around the shoulders of any admirer eager for a photo. The Beatle's baby flashed a cheeky smile and took care that the photographers got what they wanted.The strawberry blond fashion designer, hair tucked Marcia Brady-style behind her ears, mastered the moment, betraying none of the pain accompanying her mother Linda's recent death.

Lexington Market doesn't want the Utz potato chip stand anymore. The workers say they sell chips and always have. The feds say that - at least until one of the owners, a former bounty hunter, was busted April 1 - they also sold guns to gangs. Crab cakes and Uzis may fit the stereotype of a violent city, but it's not what the purveyors of a world-famous market want to promote. So Lexington Market Inc. filed suit in Baltimore's Wabash District Court against Stella Tsourakis, the woman they say owns the place along with her brother, Michael Papantonakis, who is in jail facing federal firearms charges.

The lesson plan went something like this: Soccer practice with players from Baltimore's Crystal Palace pro soccer team, agility training and exercises with the Baltimore Ravens' youth coach and some healthy cooking alongside celebrity chef George Stella. Not your average day in the classroom. But for more than 200 kids from Baltimore-area schools the day of hands-on learning about health and fitness just may be a little more memorable. The kids and others who happened upon Port Discovery children's museum on Saturday were taking part in the Junior League of Baltimore's Kids in the Kitchen initiative.
