Tricky one. White to play. Mate in 3.

F4-E6 makes the black King move. He can't take the knight at C4 because of the rook. B4 might be his best move? Then I bring the Queen up.
That's the best I got.
Bruz, don't worry about the ads, and just make sure to post the lichess.org link to the board position each time.
Also, this is the best chess puzzle app I've found so far
GPL3 license, the puzzles are from lichess.org
Anyone have any hints? Utterly stumped.
Finally got it.
Hint one
Queen first move.
Hint two
Rook second.
Hint three
Queen third.
