Another puzzle that was vaguely familiar to me- the misdirect towards a classic mating theme was what tickled the memory, and it was posted here in October of 2009. As I did then, I spent too much time on the misdirection before finding the right beginning.
1. Nd6+ Kh8 2. Rxf8+ Bxf8 3. Qxf6+ Bg7 (… Rg7 4. Qxf8+ Rg8 5. Nf7#) 4. Qd8+ Bf8 5. Qxf8#
1. Nd6+ Raf7 2. Qxf7+ Kh8 3. Rxf8+ Bxf8 (… Ng8 4. Qxg8#) 4. Qxf8+ Ng8 5. Nf7#
Yes. The tempting 1.Nh6 loses.
