John Graham Wilson asked James Morcan:

Hi James, Which of the several books on the Curia and the Vatican bank do you think is the most informative and penetrating? It seems all the popes have problems with them and I need a good read about this. - John

James Morcan Hey John,
I recommend 'God's Bankers: A History of Money and Power at the Vatican' by Gerald Posner as a good starting point.
Also, this discussion thread in Underground Knowledge might give you other reading ideas:
