Cool, nice puzzle
Not terribly difficult, but still great for middle-endgame tactics. After the first, each move has an immediate mate threat and limits the opponent to just one or two possible responses.
2.Rh1 threatens Rxh7; must move pawn
3.Rc7 threatens Rxh6+ Bxh6 Rh7; must defend with knight
4.gxh6 threatens hxg7

I can see this position arising from baiting the opponent into placing the knight on e3, a blunder, thinking he can fork the two rooks.
