Head began to turn [in/ to] Leslie's direction
Oliver jilted his fiance Leslie, and he have the wedding with a Senator's daughter in a church.
Leslie appears there, moves to the last pew, where she remains standing.....
The minister was saying, "... so if anyone knows why this couple should not be united in holy matrimony, let him speak now or forever hod his..." He glanced up and saw Leslie. "...hold his peace."
Almost involuntarily, head began to turn in Leslie's direction.

I'd like to know why "turn in" is used, not "turn to."
Thank you in advance for your help.
