18... Rxh7
Black has nothing better

 
19. Qxg6+ Rf7 20. Rf1 Bxd4
A blunder, but black was lost anyway. 20...Bf6 and white has a pleasant choise between 21.Ne4 and 21.g5 (I think Ne4 is bit stronger). The problem is, for black, that he just can't step out of the pin and his rook is gone: 20...Kf6 21.Bh6 ; 20...Bf6 21.Ne4 and white has too much threats, for example Rxf6 followed by Nxd6 pocketing the queen.

 
21. Qg8+
It's mate next move.
