There's barely anything, though I can only speak on behalf of places I'm familiar with (which is sort of my point). You really just need to uncover the patchwork of small, relatively unknown histories of a place, then see if they fit together.
For example, as a Vancouverite, the story of the Vancouver Stock is exchange is absolutely hilarious by itself. But extrapolating the VSE into the larger context of Vancouver- stock fraud, money laundering, casinos, Triad gangs, motor cycle gangs, and real estate- you begin to realize that Vancouver as a city is essentially founded on and ran by fraud. There's plenty of interesting shit going on, but the average person living in Vancouver has close to literally 0% knowledge on any of these topics. I've never met a Vancouverite who knew we had a stock exchange that was world-renown for fraudulent pennystocks, with a rich history of hilarious scams.
