If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.

The long-awaited new novel from award-winning Australian writer, Joel Deane.
What happens when the future falls as dark as your past?
When all that you have seduced and betrayed, rises up to drown you.
Pat Pinnock is about to find out.
