Journalist Dick Mattsson is investigating a death at a gentlemen’s club. One member, the author Lasse Johnson, died in a boating accident during the Midsummer celebrations. Johnson's friend Maria Vaern suggest that it was not an accident in a magazine article. When Mattsson goes to visit Vaern, he finds her dead, apparently just fallen from her apartment window. He digs deeper and becomes certain that Johnson was murdered. He visits an old flame, Brita Ljungdahl, who is in the process of divorcing one member of the club, Erik Ljungdahl. Mattsson meets with Rolandsson, a private detective Vaern hired shortly before her death. Later he learns that Rolandsson has been shot and killed. In a book found at the detective's place he has underlined the words "metallic sodium". Rolandsson has also left a mysterious package at Mattsson's office desk. It turn out to contain metallic sodium, the substance that precipitated the boat engine explosion that killed Johnson. Mattsson convenes the members and Brita and ask them why they are shielding a killer. The members say that Rolandsson was blackmailing one of them and that there was a scuffle when a gun was fired an inadvertedly killed Rolandsson, and they decided to not go to the police. Mattsson says they have all been fooled by one in their midst. He hands Ljungdahl a note with the number to the police. Ljungdahl’s friends turn away in disgust. Mattsson leaves with Brita under his arm.
