    Extremely easy to find because you gave it away with the name.

     no. it doesn't work. it will take 4 moves instead of 3, because after 1.Bxf6 ...g6. and it will take 3 more moves to bring the queen to g7 for the mate. but in the queen sac. black can't choose not to take the queen because if 1. Qf6...g6 than 2. Qe5 and mate next move.
