Abstract: Results are given for the ground state energy and excitation spectrum of a simple $N$-state $Z_N$ spin chain described by free parafermions. The model is non-Hermitian for $Nge3$ with a real ground state energy and a complex excitation spectrum. Although having a simpler Hamiltonian than the superintegrable chiral Potts model, the model is seen to share some properties with it, e.g., the specific heat exponent $alpha=1-2/N$ and the anisotropic correlation length exponents $u_{p}arallel=1$ and $u_{p}erp=2/N$.
