If you sign up for your free access to OCLC's First Search WorldCat you
could use the advanced search (not hard, just more options than a simple
search), search for your authors while limiting the search to books in the
Spanish language.
You get:

Victoria Holt: 160 records
Agatha Christie: 569 records
Danielle Steel: 222 records

Obviously, multiple editions. Each record has a list of the holding
libraries, giving you a place to fire off an ILL request.

Sign up info at: http://www.lili.org/worldcatdemo.htm

Come'on people--it's the world's largest and greatest bibliographic
database, all provided by your tax $$$. It's useful for ILL and Reference.
You'll be surprised how easy it is to use, and the immense amount of stuff
in there.
