The Dirty Rat

The Dirty Rat is a raw and unfiltered memoir of survival, loyalty, and betrayal set against the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic.

When the world shut down in March 2020, entrepreneur Greg Hough found himself stranded in Houston as global markets collapsed and fear gripped the world. With businesses failing and governments scrambling for solutions, Greg and his business partner Jesper stepped into the chaotic global race for medical supplies.

What followed was a modern-day gold rush.

From billion-dollar PPE deals and shadowy middlemen to fraudulent suppliers and high-stakes negotiations with global manufacturers, Greg was pulled deep into the unpredictable world of pandemic business. In an industry where fortunes were made overnight-and lost just as quickly-trust became the most valuable currency.

But the real battle was not just financial. As deals unraveled and tensions rose, Greg found himself confronting betrayal, loyalty, and the personal cost of ambition.

The Dirty Rat is more than a business story. It is a brutally honest account of friendship, deception, resilience, and the fight to rebuild when everything falls apart.

Part entrepreneurial thriller, part personal confession, this gripping memoir reveals what really happened behind the scenes of the pandemic's global supply war-and the people who risked everything to survive it.
