The Whitewashed Tomb

by Linda Caddick

At a time when a famous rabbi walked the streets of Jerusalem, a shrewd young woman, bored, lonely, and oppressed by her role as the wife of a prominent Pharisee, seeks significance in a lofty ambition to change the course of history. In defiance of her husband's strong antipathy to this controversial teacher, she follows her heart and finds herself in the thick of volatile situations caused by a man who seems to attract trouble wherever he goes. Her life changes when she makes friends with Shana – the endearing character from novels, Woman of Clay and Woman of Mettle. But just when new happiness becomes a possibility, everything crashes when she finds out about a crafty murder plot. Her daring plan to intervene ends in failure and the death of the only man she truly loved throws her marriage into crisis. Now she is far worse off than she ever was before.


The Rabbi Yeshua had an effect on every person who crossed his path – some said he was the Prophet, some the Messiah, others called him demon-possessed. Each of these people had their own life story, which played out simultaneously while he lived on earth, many of them eye-witnesses who contributed to the accounts later recorded by the rabbi's closest friends. This could have been one such story; we will never know. In these pages, you too can be an on-looker at these world-changing events, chance upon the Master in his less familiar roles, and become entangled in the drama of the Bible in a dynamic new way.

About the author

LINDA CADDICK grew up in Zimbabwe, spending most of her time confined to boarding school but holidays wandering freely on her father's farm, where she developed a lively imagination and a love for nature. Strongly attracted to Cape Town, South Africa, she went to live there at the first opportunity.

Her writing skills were developed during many years of producing descriptive editorial for a restaurant publication. After almost 20 years of city life, her dream of living in the country was realized when she and her husband, together with their two small children, bought a run-down caravan park in the Cape Winelands and turned it into a popular resort for church and family outings.

Linda's passion is for writing inspirational novels which illustrate the truth of the gospel through compelling characters and stories that will appeal to all.
