Your comment made me find the book, "48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene, judging from law 46: "Never appear too perfect". It's not classified as fiction, but it's gotta be satire, I mean, it's good, but sprinkled with many antisocial and toxic behaviors.
I guess the people in power prove these laws are realistic, definitely adding it to my to-read book pile.
