1. Nh6, Kh8 2. Qxe5! appears to win a piece.
1. Nh6+ Kh8 2. Q:e5 R:e5 3. N:f7+ and 4. N:d8 with the Nd5 pinned and hanging with check as well.
Nh6, then Qxe5, then fork

2. qxe5!! with the threat of nxf7+
1. Nh6+ g6
2. Qxe5 Rxe5
3. Nxf7+ Kg8

and white has i believe a winning game emerging with rook, knight and a pawn for the queen.
Apologies: retraction on my previous comment, the knight fork on f7 is followed by Knight takes Queen, not knight takes rook.

4. Nxd8
1. Nh6+ Kh8

now, the black N on d5 is pinned and lost as well. Black cannot play Be6 either.
if 4… Bd7
5. Bxd5+ Rxd5

white is an exchange up, and at least for now, even a pawn up… white’s d5 pawn will likely fall though.
1. Nh6+ followed by Qxe5 wins for white
