I think you would really enjoy them, especially his discussions of how the city tyrant came to regulate crimes like prostitution. If you’re interested, I recommend starting with ‘Guards! Guards!’, the first book of the City Watch storyline. There are eight books in that storyline, out of the 35+ long series.

You also don’t want to be part of the rudeness and hard-heartedness of not bothering to give any words of condolence at all when anyone tells you of any kind of loss OR only bothering to do that when it’s someone who’s part of your group, your type, etc. These things you do ARE a big deal and very needed.

It should drive the conservative statists crazy if they had but the wit to comprehend it.
