Death of a Traitor (Hamish Macbeth Book 35)

The Constitution does not itself create the offense; it only restricts the definition (the first paragraph), permits the United States Congress to create the offense, and restricts any punishment for treason to only the convicted (the second paragraph). The crime is prohibited by legislation passed by Congress.

The house had been built as a manse for the old kirk down near the loch around two hundred years ago but was now a popular bed-and-breakfast place, the decline in religious dedication among the populace having more-or-less coincided with the rise of the tourist trade.”
