Night Watch by Terry Pratchett (2002)
The late Pratchett’s Discworld series has been hailed the height of modern fiction. The 29th book, Night Watch, focuses on Sir Samuel Vimes, commander of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. Pratchett intended the contents of the novel, like the secret police and the torture chamber, to seem like a bunch of gags gone terribly awry.
