White to move and win

White to move & win
1.Ne5+
Discovered check. Since the knight now covers
the escape square on d7, any attempt to interpose in the h5-e8
diagonal is met with Q-takes mate. So...
1...Kf8
There is a four-move mate here with 2.Bh6+ Nxh6
3.Qxh6+ Kg8 [3...Ke8 4.Bg6+ (4.Qh8+ Rf8 5.Qxf8#; 4.Qh5+)
4...Rxg6 5.Qxg6#] 4.Qh7+ Kf8 5.Qh8#. Quicker though, is...
2.Rxf6+
Now all four tries by Black meet with mate:
a. 2...Nxf6 3.Qf7#
b. 2...Bxf6 3.Qf7#
c. 2...exf6 3.Qf7#
d. 2...Kg7 3.Rf7#
