Lee Child Officially Reveals the Real Reason ‘Neagley’ Became ‘Reacher’s First Spin-Off [Exclusive]

The character certainly had plenty of history on the page, but television presented a very practical reason to bring her into Jack Reacher’s adventures more frequently: watching the big guy silently think for several minutes doesn’t exactly make riveting TV. When Sten began making the character her own, she completely changed the game.
