Maybe 1.Rxf8+ and if 1…Kxf8 then 2. Qb8+ . if 1…Qxf8 then 2. Qd5+ if 2..Qf7 3.Re8+ mat and if Kh8 Qxc8
1. RxN QxR
2. Qd5+ Kh8
3. QxR+
and White is a piece up.
1.Rxf8+ (capture, sacrifice and check. Easy to consider as the number one candidate move)
1…Kxf8?
2.Qb8+ and mate in two moves
1…Qxf8
2.Qd5+ (rather than 2.Qe6+?) Kh8
3.Qxc4
if 2…Qf7?
3.Re8# This is why 2.Qe6+ is a useless move.
1. Rf8+ Qf8
2. Qd5+ Qf7
3. Qd8+ Qf8

Nobody has yet gone beyond 3 Qxc4, winning a piece. But after 3…Qa8!, I think black is still in with some sort of a drawing chance. I can’t see a killing 4th move for white
1st method-
white move. Black move
1. Rxf8. if kxf8 then
2. Kxd5. if Qxh8 then
3. Kxc4. no option for safe
2nd method-
1. Rxf8. if Qxf8 then
2. Kxb8. & white won
