Richard Wilson joins the private detectives as Max’s great uncle – he needs help but all is not as it seems. From 2017.

Nonetheless, Max seems ready to jack in the business when he discovers that his Great Uncle Bernard might be in trouble.

But when he and Ivan investigate Bernard's retirement home and meet the terrifying Sister Geraldine, all might not be as it seems.
