Mimi Cave's comic mystery is set not in the Netherlands but Holland, Michigan, though it does boast tulips and a windmill.

She and her colleague Dave (Gael García Bernal) try their hand at amateur sleuthing in a story of humorous, if mild, peril – until an almighty twist throws everything out of whack. Simon Wardell

Roy Keane reveals details of his Man Utd contracts including special flights clause and huge signing on fee

ROY KEANE has revealed the details of his contracts with Manchester United. The Irishman walked out on the Red Devils in 2005 after his 12-year stay. 2 2 Keane, 54, took his old contracts to a recording of The Overlap podcast with Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott, Ian Wright and former team-mate Gary Neville. One of his contracts was shown to the camera as it revealing the interesting details that can go into a player's deal. Keane's signing-on fee was split across the four-year contract, which would see him be paid £1million a year until it expired. One clause that is stated meant that United would provide flights to him and his family between Manchester and Cork, Ireland. It read: "The club will provide 20 return flights Manchester/Cork/Manchester for the use of the player, his partner and children for each year of this contract commencing from 1 July 2002." The contract also revealed the wording that allows players to feature for the national side. Keane played 67 times for the Republic of Ireland during his career, scoring nine goals. The clause stated: "The club shall release the player for National Representative matches for which he is selected in accordance with the principles of co-operation between Member Associations of Fifa and their clubs." The contract was not all in favour of the player though as Keane agreed to obligations to the club. This included providing "reasonable assistance" for the club's in-house media MUTV. Gary Neville reveals how much he earned in last year at Man Utd as Ian Wright retorts 'you were underpaid' He would have to be available for interviews and photoshoots "without limitation". Keane also agreed that United would be "entitled to use his name, nickname, signature, image, voice and film portrayal and other characteristics" in connection with selling merchandise. Neville, 50, also revealed part of his final contract with United in terms of his pay. He admitted that he was paid £2.3m for his final season before retiring in 2011. Keane joined United from Nottingham Forest in 1993 after his move to Blackburn Rovers was hijacked. He went on to make 480 appearances for the Red Devils and won seven Premier League titles and the Champions League in 1999. But if he had opted to switch the City Ground for Ewood Park instead, his career could have panned out very differently.
