Principle:
This puzzle may be contrived as the position appears unlikely.
and it is difficult to see any double attack.
Moving the knight to e3 forks the queen and bishop
if the f-pawn takes the knight, black mates with queen to h4
so the forking square reveals a mate!
I was thinking the other way around:
queen to h4 threatening mate
