I've written a crime novel, which is on its final draft before seeking publication now. The novel is set in my hometown. A major "set piece" scene is set in a real location, a business, which I would like to keep in the novel, owing to the unique design of the building. I don't portray the business in any bad light, as far as I am concerned, but a couple of pretty violent murders occur there. Any thoughts on whether I should change this?
