My friend had the novelization

I vividly remember this because I thought the title was so odd. I had no idea it was based on a movie until years later (This was the mid 80s BTW, after Blaxploitation had died out). But I've done a little searching and I can't turn up any evidence of a novelization, nor anything I would've mistaken for a novelization. Does anyone else remember ever owning or seeing it?

If it does exist it must be pretty rare.
