Kh1 seems a good move
1.Qg4+! Kxh6 2.Kh1 Qd5 3.Rg1 Qf7 4.Qh4+ Qh5 5.Qf4+ Qg5 6.Rxg5 fxg5 7.Qd6+ and I think white should be able to win this (dont have a board), since the rook checks are harmless.
Kh1 seems a good move
1.Kh1 Kf8 and Black’s king is out of Dodge City.
Anon @ 6:48: agree to your line but what if black does not take the knight but instead retreats his king to f8?!

If the King goes to f8, than Qg8+ follows. And when the King escapes to e7, the Queen simply takes the Black Rook on b3 for free and White is a Rook up with a winning advantage.
Aaargh, you are rgiht. Silly me, should have spotted that but was just too preoccupied with trying to mate black. Thanks!
1Qg3+ Kxh6 2 Rf4! Rc1+ 3 Kf2 Rc2 4 Rc1+ Ke1 etc… until Rh4#
1Qg3+ Kxh6 2 Rf4! Rc1+ 3 Kf2 Rc2 4 Rc1+ Ke1 etc… until Rh4#
After:
1.Qg3+ Kxh6
2.Rf4? Rb1+ (not “c1”)
… Black has a perpetual. If White tries for more:
3.Kf2 Rb2+
4.Ke1 Rb1+
5.Ke2?? Qc4+
6.Kf2 Qf1#
