Dan befriends a shop owner, Oliver, and his girlfriend, but Jordan and Abby get the sense that Oliver is hiding something. Of course, that is not the end of the story.ĭan and Abby help Jordan settled into his uncle’s house and they explore parts of the city together. Why would someone do such a distasteful thing? By time they reach New Orleans, the group is happy to be off the road. Abby photographs parts of an old cemetery and they discover that someone has been digging up graves. Does this mean that she is alive somewhere? Dan also starts receiving messages from Micah, who died in the previous book.

Jordan is moving to New Orleans to stay with his uncle Dan and Abby are helping him move and go along on the road trip. Senior year is finally over and Dan, Abby, and Jordan are getting together once last time before college starts and life begins to take them on separate paths.

As with the previous two books, Roux includes vintage photos throughout to make the experience creepier than the story already is, and the line between reality and imagination is blurred.

Catacomb is the third book in the Asylum series by Madeleine Roux.
