Without seeing a side by side comparison, it's tough to tell if this is wrong or not, OP. A couple things to remember:

1) A trashy 70s action novel is not likely to have a unique plot anyway. Is it possible that both the author of the novel and the BNF might be drawing from similar inspirations?

2) A lot of people write different works based on similar plots. I'm not sure where you and the BNF are based, but this isn't a violation of copyright law in the U.S. Whether or not it's unethical is hard to tell without looking more closely at both works.

3) People unconsciously lift ideas and even phrases from stuff they've read before all the time. It's not fantastic when this happens, but it happens a lot.

You could let her know about the book in a "Huh, you'll never believe this weird thing I found..." kind of way, but frankly, that also sounds pretty pointed. I don't know. You risk a lot by confronting her with this especially if it's not certain she did it deliberately. I hope you'll come back and tell us what happened?

They could totally just ask, "So I read this book and it was similar to your fic. Did you borrow this idea? Hahaha."

If the prose isn't the same, this is likely. If the prose matches up very closely, they might have lifted it and changed some words. But it doesn't hurt to ask about the plot. Maybe they actually were inspired by something else.
