One of my favorite series is Pilliars of the earth. A common theme is that there is usually a 'badie' some person in a position of authority who is evil, sometimes because of motivations and sometimes because they are manical and sadistic in nature.
I'm looking for a fiction book, perhaps historical (doesn't have to be) where we get alot of exposure into this sort of character who is evil for evils sake and selfish motivations eventually being overthrown or over taken.
Thank you in advance!
