"A Murderer's Confessions" is Peter Lundin's autobiographical account, published in 2010 and written together with journalist Rikke Pedersen. The book recounts Lundin's life and the brutal crimes that turned him into one of Denmark's most talked-about criminals, offering his own version of the events that culminated in the murder of Marianne Pedersen and her two sons in 2000.

Peter Lundin, born Paul Martin Jensen, already had a violent criminal history before arriving in Denmark. He had previously been convicted of murder in the United States, where he killed his mother and her boyfriend in 1991. After his release, he moved to Denmark, where in 2000 he committed the triple murder that generated massive headlines across the country.

The book gives readers direct access to Lundin's own reflections and his attempts to explain his actions. This makes the work a controversial yet compelling document, raising questions about evil, responsibility and rehabilitation. For those interested in criminal psychology and true crime, the book offers a rare chance to look into the mind of a murderer through his own words.

The memoir was written during Lundin's time in prison and stands as an example of the controversial genre of murderer autobiographies.
