Reacher is never going back to Never Go Back

The notable part of Reacher ’s call to Turner ’s office is his line , " I ’m call in that favour she owe me . " It ’s a throwaway reference that ’s easy to pretermit , butthis job heavy implies the events ofNever Go Backhappened offscreen in the world ofReacher . By the end of that volume , Turner ’s name had been assoil thanks to Reacher ’s help , so it ’s only fair she would owe Reacher a solid in the aftermath . Unluckily for Reacher , Turner is n’t available to repay the favor .

It ’s interesting that Amazon’sReacherdidn’t give Turner - one of the few recurring characters from the novel - a cameo , which could have set her up for a future appearance .
