Cop This!

In 1969, a home-made bomb explodes in the sleazy heart of Brisbane's Fortitude Valley, killing eleven people, and igniting a controversy that could threaten the government itself.

When small-time criminal Johnny Arnold is charged, his fight for justice sets two men - father, then son - on a collision course with the state's most powerful men.

Set against the backdrop of Queensland's seedy underworld of criminals and cops, Cop This! is a powerful tale of corruption, idealism and personal courage, spanning two decades of dark political intrigue and sensational courtroom drama.

Top Queensland criminal lawyer Chris Nyst draws on the experiences of his high-profile career to weave a tale of treachery and double dealing in Australia's 'deep north'.
