The opening scene of the diner in which Jack Reacher exposes a small town sheriff who is running a human trafficking ring was inspired by the novel "Worth Dying For", which preceded "Never Go Back" in the chronology of Reacher novels. In the novel, Reacher is passing through a small town in Nebraska when he stumbles upon a sex trafficking ring run by a prominent local family (not the police). After breaking it up, the small town folk ask Reacher where he's going next and he says that he's going to Virginia to see a woman named Susan, who he has only ever spoken with on the phone. 'Susan' is obviously Susan Turner (Cobie Smulders), an Army investigator working out of the DC area (in Virginia) and as seen in the opening minutes of the movie, his interactions with Susan take place over the phone. (Though in the novel "Worth Dying For", she had no involvement, nor did the government, in exposing the ring. That was created for the film.)
