Book Description
Joe and Elizabeth's mother realizes she can leave the twins and several of their friends alone for a few hours to watch a long-anticipated pro-wrestling match starring Joe's hero, Jack Shine. The friends settle in for a night of television, but the fun abruptly halts when escaped serial murderer Quentin Charles Dorn breaks in disguised as the pizza delivery man. Confused and angry, Dorn holds the seven teenagers hostage while nervously negotiating with the FBI on scene. Joe picks up on Dorn's vulnerability and weaknesses and hopes his own wit and composure will prevail over the hostage-taker's jumpy nerves and desperation. In bringing the night to a safe end, Joe proves that courage is drawn from intelligence and grit, not brute strength or a tough exterior. Headlock is a fast-paced thriller starring an underdog who reveals that intuition and imagination are the true qualities of a hero.
