The Big Kill by Mickey Spillane

A hardboiled private investigator witnesses a man carrying a baby gunned down on a rainy night outside a bar. Taking responsibility for the orphaned child, he plunges into a brutal hunt through a maze of gangsters, corrupt officials, and a dangerous femme fatale. As bodies fall and secrets surface, he follows the money and wartime betrayals to exact uncompromising justice.
