If you don't mind science fiction, "One Way" by Simon Morden is a mystery about a group of convicts who are coerced into going to Mars to build a base there, and are being killed off one-by-one in the process. Like on Soldier Island, there is nowhere for them to run. The setting is the near future, so the technology is pretty much what we have today. No high-tech MacGuffins to keep the adventure rolling.
