with so much action on the kingside, it would be esay to overlook Qa6+, but that move obviously works for white. sample lines:
Qa6+ Kd7
Qxa7+ Kc8
Qa8+ Kc7
Qc6+ etc
or
Qa6+ Kb8
Rxb6+ axb6
Qxb6+ etc.
One add to ano’s post:
after 1. Qa6, Kd7? white does not play the slow (but of course also winning) 2. Qxa7+ but Qb7+ which immediately mates (3. Qe7#).
After 1. -, Kc7 2. Qxa7+ is correct and then the posted line works.
After 2. -, Kc8 Qa6+ works, too, and that’s what I found but that seems to make no difference.
Best regards

1.Qa6+ Kd7
2.Qb7+
… is even cleaner.
Also,
Qa6+, Kb8
Rxb6+! and you have perp check.
Or even a win.
After Rxb6+ axb6 Qxb6+
…Kc8
Qc6+ and Rb1 mates
or …Ka8
Qa6+ and Rb1 mates again
Also,
Qa6+, Kb8
Rxb6+! and you have perp check.
Mate in four, actually.
