Die Judasbok is Dalene Matthee se eerste boek. Hiermee het sy in 1982 haar talent triomfantlik aangekondig; en dié bundel verhale het haar ná aan haar hart gelê, want vyf-en-twintig jaar se gevoelens en ervarings, bepeinsing en besinning lê hierin opgesluit.

Moses Swart, skaapwagter van die Bredasdorpse strandveld, voel sy hele lewe lank nog dat hy nie hoort in hierdie land van see- en veldmense nie. Hy is 'n uitgespoelde, maar waar kom dié knaende gevoel van 'n ander identiteit vandaan? Totdat hy Lord en Lady van Springfield ontmoet en dadelik besef: hulle is ook uitgespoeldes, soos hy. Dalene Matthee se heel laaste roman bied 'n historiese verhaal uit die 1950's met 'n besondere bekoring. Soos haar vorige trefferromans verbeeld dit weergaloos die mistieke verbondenheid tussen mense wat op die onsêbare vlak lê.
