We present an extension of the piecewise parabolic method to special relativistic fluid dynamics in multi-dimensions. The scheme is conservative, dimensionally unsplit, and suitable for a general equation of state. Temporal evolution is second-order accurate and employs characteristic projection operators; spatial interpolation is piecewise parabolic making the scheme third-order accurate in smooth regions of the flow away from discontinuities. The algorithm is written for a general system of orthogonal curvilinear coordinates and can be used for computations in non-Cartesian geometries. A nonlinear iterative Riemann solver based on the two-shock approximation is used in flux calculation. In this approximation, an initial discontinuity decays into a set of discontinuous waves only implying that, in particular, rarefaction waves are treated as flow discontinuities. We also present a new and simple equation of state that approximates the exact result for the relativistic perfect gas with high accuracy. The strength of the new method is demonstrated in a series of numerical tests and more complex simulations in one, two, and three dimensions.
