To continue Streptomicin's line, perhaps 1.Rxf7+ Bxf7 2.Ne6+ Ke8 (2...Kg8 3.Qg7#) 3.Nc7+ picks up the queen.

1.Rb2 Qc4 2.Rb8+ Bd8 3.Rxd8 Ke7 4.Rd7+ Ke8 (f8) 5.Qf6 seems pretty lethal.

1.Rb2 Qc4 (Qxc5) 2.Rb8+ Bd8 3.Rxd8 Ke7 4.Qf6# is a little quicker still.

Rb2 seems like a easy win, black has to give the queen for to little material caue of his weak back rank.

No need for long calculations there.
