You may be looking for the Star Trek: New Frontier novel, Treason.

"Treason, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder".
- Elim Garak (DS9: "Second Skin")

Treason is the act of betraying one's country, organization, affiliation, or ally, usually to assist the enemy. One who commits this act is known as a traitor, and might be convicted as a criminal. Sometimes, a traitor is influenced by the enemy to commit such acts due to political or situational circumstances.

Treason was one of the very few crimes punishable by death on Vulcan in the 22nd century. (ENT: "Kir'Shara")

Various Starfleet-related acts of treason and traitors have been uncovered throughout history.

Jack, Lauren, Patrick and Sarina almost committed treason in 2374, by trying to give Weyoun and Damar Starfleet battle plans and fleet deployments. (DS9: "Statistical Probabilities")

The Female Changeling was determined that Damar "pay a price" for his treason against the Dominion. She ordered Weyoun to find Damar's wife and children. (DS9: "Tacking Into the Wind")

General Martok considered it treasonous to challenge Chancellor Gowron's leadership of the Klingon Empire in the middle of the Dominion War. (DS9: "Tacking Into the Wind")

Captain Braxton accused Captain Kathryn Janeway and Commander Chakotay of being traitors after they denied his story of being from the future to police officer Sims. (VOY: "Future's End")
