I think Ne8 with dual checks…
It has to be Ne8 otherwise Nxd4… I think white must have forced mate though with Ne8.
1. Ne8 + Kh6
2. Qxh8+ Kg5
3. Bc1+ Kg4
4. Qh3++
Best wishes

If 3…Nf4
4. Qf6+ and the end is near
A. Weiler
1.Rh5 should be considered as too.

Forced mate in 5:
1. Ne8+, Kh6
2. Qxh8+, Kg5
3. Bf6+, Kf4 (if Kg4, Qh4++)
4. Qh4+, Ke3
5. Qf2++
Mate in four, actually:
1.Ne8+ Kh6
2.Bc1+ Kh7
3.Qg7+ Nxg7
4.Nf6#
after 2.Bc1+ Kh7?? is wrong. Better is g5.
Ne8+ Kh6
Qh4+ checkmate
Ne8+ Kh6 Qh8+ Kg5 Bf6+ Kg4 Qh4#
after 2.Bc1+ Kh7?? is wrong. Better is g5.
“Better”?
1.Ne8+ Kh6
2.Bc1+ g5
3.Qxh8# or Qh4#
Ne8+ Kh6 Qh8+ Kg5 Bf6+ Kg4 Qh4#
1.Ne8+ Kh6
2.Qh8+ Kg5
3.Bf6+ Kf4
… postpones the mate until White’s fifth.
